Flat igniter

how many ohms does a flat igniter have??

Oven igniter resistance is not important as long as it has some.

More important is a current drawn by igniter. For a flat igniter it suppose to be between 3.2 amps to 3.6 amps.

You can learn how a flat oven igniter works from one of previous posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/1897-oven-wont-lite.html

Most of flat oven igniters (excluding igniters with blue ceramic) are interchangeable. Both oven igniters you’ve mentioned in your previous posts are good for your oven.

P.S. Do not reply on you own thread unless someone else did it - it makes your thread look too old and like it’s been already answered.
