The spark ignitor will click 3 separate times but sometimes it ignites and sometimes not. I have checked both the broil and bake valve across the common terminal and both have 210ohms. My suspicion is the DSI module and was wondering if anyone can confirm that? Thanks for any input!

They should be completely open. You can use a toothpick to clean them. Make sure the igniter tip is properly aligned with the lighting holes and it is clean.

It just seems after cycling it doesn’t always reignite. It does click/spark but the it appears power is not sent to gas valve because it doesn’t ignite and there is no gas odor. Thanks!
