After reading some posts and speaking to a local repair shop, I think that the Hi Limit Thermo is bad, I checked continuity across both coils and the readings all came back very close to each other, set meter at 2K reading was approx 1.9 on both coils.

I checked the high limit thermo and no continuity at all. Local shop said this is most likely my problem, just wanted another opinion…

Thanks in advance,

Joe

If the high limit is reading open, it is bad. Below is the part #. Also have a link to your model. Page 5 shows the burner breakdown.

Thanks, I did a little more research and decided that maybe I didnt observe long enough. I reattched the door and ran the cycle, burner lit ran for 3-5minutes and then shut off. After that the glow plug would glow every few minutes but no flame, let it do this three times with same result. I just want to make sure that this is the problem before I spend the money on the parts…

Thanks,

Joe

Glad you did some more looking. That’s generally a sign of bad coils even though they checked good ohming them out. When under load they will act the way you are describing. Actually very common.
