Broiler w/new igniter does not work, gas feed ok

Does the igniter glow whit hot?

if you can see the ignitor glowing on either the broiler or the lower area of the oven then the gas valve is bad and not opening anymore,sometimes the ignitors are the culprit as they are in series with the gas valve and if weak wont let the valve open,but both upper and lower burners not operating i would suspect a gas valve first

Hi Esh Weizman
Sounds like you have the fuel lines reversed going to and from the primer bulb.
I will put a picture up for you to see the routing of the fuel lines

It might be cracked or broken. I would carefully remove it (don't drop it), and put an ohmmeter across the contacts. You should get a reading of 500 ohms or less, but not 0 (meter leads shorted to each other).

If the reading is higher, either you don't have the meter leads actually touching the terminals, or the part faulty.

But if it's not faulty, then the ignitor's power source is not feeding it electricity. In this case, the heat sensing circuit may be bad, usually caused by a faulty thermostatic device.

There also may be a loose wire connection inside the unit.

You can test all of the above with a voltmeter. Put the leads, one in each terminal on the ignitor socket, and have someone else start the dryer.

It probably won't work with the ignitor removed, but there should be a slight jump on the volt meter if the circuit is working properly.

I usually don't bother with all that. There's far fewer different ignitor elements than there are appliances that use them, so you can almost always find the one you need in stock, in town.

Take the old one along. Some parts distributors will test the one you bring in, because if they didn't, they wouldn't know what's going on.

If the ignitor is good, they usually know which part failed, because parts guys know which parts fail most on any appliance.

Check the Manual/Auto Clock setting to be on Manual not auto . The Oven is waiting for the Right Time to start up .

In my case, the igniting wire was too close to another piece of metal. It was igniting upstream from the burner. All I did was push up on the wire, and the broiler started working again!

Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter

First clean the terminals at the control and check for tight wires at the incoming terminal block. Check the neutral wire for a good conection. If the ignitor reads less than 3 amps it does not have enough resistance to open the gas valve. Turn the gas off. Put a clamp on amp meter on the broil ignitor wire. Turn the broiler on. If less than 3 amps.replace the ignitor.

hi yes you could replace the broil for the bake but they are very fraglle so i would buy a new bake igniter replace
