Ignitor wouldn't ignite, bought a new one, still doesn't work.

Clean your flame sensor with soft wire brush. It is located opposite side of igniter. Builds up with glossy coating and doesn’t sense the flame so it shuts off the gas valve

Never touch the part of the ignitor that glows. oils from you hands can cause problems. make sure that the ignitor is not shorting out on anything. When it is glowing the red part not not be in contactac with anything.

Hello, verify if the igniter is receiving a 120 volts from the control board after the pressure switch closes. Sometimes a faulty control board can cause this problem if the igniter and pressure switch are good.

most likely you have a bad ignitor,this is the first thing that goes,if it glows and doesn't ignite the flame within 40 seconds after it starts to glow the ignitor is still bad even though it glows orange.if it's a flat ignitor it takes 3.2 amps for the ignitor to open the gas valve and ignite the flame,if it's a round ignitor it takes 2.5 amps to fire it up.you don't have to shut the gas down,if it's a fairly new machine no electricity will go to the ignitor either if it's shut off but you can shut the breaker down if you want.the machines are not like the older machines where you lite it with a match,they are electronic ignition so check the ignitor first,if it doesn't glow at all you can check the ignitor for continuity with a meter.if you need any more help send the full model number off of the machine,open the bottom draw under the oven door,look on the frame,left or right side and you'll see a tag with the model number on it.good luck and happy new year.

pull out the racks and remove the bottom floor of the oven,turn it on bake,if the ignitor doesn't glow most likely it's bad,if it does glow and it doesn't ignite within 40 to 60 seconds the ignitor is bad.even though it glows doesn't mean it's good,it works by amps.it takes 3.2 amps.for a flat ignitor to open the gas valve and 2.5 amps for a round ignitor to open the gas valve.

Make sure you have gas on. Tap on the valve as the ignitor glows. The valve may just be stuck. If not- I'm thinking the funace needs a new ignition module.

did you purge the gasline when it was turned back on ? if you have air in the line it will take ages to come through

either the pressure switch is not closing (probably clogged) or the ignitor is bad.


Verify that 24 v is coming out of the pressure switch, after the draft inducer motor comes on, then look for the ignitor to glow.
Do you see the glow from the ignitor? If not, replace it.

Replace the glow ignitor. The glow ignitor pops and you can not see anything until you remove it far enough and then you can see a white stripe on one side of the ignitor. This is a very easy fix and you can do it with a 5/16 nut drive or sockets. And unplug the unit. This will solve your problem

yes if the ignitor has a very small crack on it it will not work replace it and see if it works but do not touch the end that glows when you put it in as the grease from your finger s will stop it working
