Hi all new here- had an issue where our oven just failed to get hot. Did a BUNCH of research, talked to techs and they all came to conclusion that igniter was bad. Bought igniter yestrday to the tune of $50, replaced this a.m. and same thing. oh yeah broiler works and ignites just fine.

Oven now goes to 159* (before it stopped at 100* on LCD)
and Im bummed and confused??!!

What next? Do I need a thermostat, a board?

This is going to get expesnive if I cant nail it down. I do have a ohmmeter if needed.

Do I need to leave the bottom of oven off to see if igniter is glowing or getting hot?

My wife wants to cook again,

thanks
Doug

do I need the oven set to ON and where do I want to probe / check on the igniter? there arent really any connecters on it (just spliced new one in with the ceramic wire nuts)


PS >>the NEW igniter is a (pt # AR404 on the box) hopefully this is correct?

thanks,
Doug

That part is fine, they only make 2 kinds round and square, so if you took out a round ignitor, you replace it with a round ignitor.

ok, make sure it's an ohm reading and not a volt reading :)

no problem.
