Make sure that the ignitor is in the mist of atomized fuel. Or better yet do you have signs of fuel atomization? Check fuel filter usually an in line transparent type filter, if it is clear check the nozzle they have a screen inside as a filter as well no fuel there lines to the tank are next in line if you have fuel up to the nozzle it may be time to replace the nozzle sorry but you can not clean them any slight bend or widening of the holes changes the rate of the nozzle. Pay attention to the GPH rating and spray angle when replacing the nozzle.

I replaced the ignitor on my goodman furnace, but it still isn't turning red and the fire still doesn't come on. what is the problem?

Is your induced draft motor coming on first and if so have you checked the voltage to ignitor when it's calling for heat. If you are not getting voltage to ignitor then you probably need to replace the control board. Thank you.

Running but not firing & heating

The problem is the dryer coils are failing. They tend to fail as they heat up. They are inexpensive and easy to replace. There is a video at http://appliancehelponline.com/gdryertroublevideo.html that will walk you thru this.

Whirlpool gas range, after pre heat will not maintane temp. Can hear clicking to fire but does not.

Sounds like you probably have a weak ignitor. I would look to see if the ignitor is glowing after your are hearing the clicking. If it is only glowing a bright orange ignitor is probably weak and needs to be replaced. It should glow almost a bright white. If the igntor only glows once and never comes back on then you will have a failing relay on the control board. (far less common than a weak ignitor)
Good luck _MJ_

No fire to my plugs

Check your timing belt. Take the cap off, and turn the engine over to see if the cam is turning. If that's okay, , then, yes there is a diode in the distributor. And they are pretty pricey. If i was you i'd go get a distributor from an auto wrecker and replace the whole thing. It's easier, and cheaper.Good luck!

No fire to my plugs

It all sounds like you have a bad computor. If you are not getting fire from the coil. The source will lead you back to the brain source, (The Computor). Go to the local junk yard to get another one at half price.

Kenmore oven 362.75275690 won't fire...has new ignitor

if you get 120 volts to the ignitor, then the ignitor will glow ,if not you have a bad ignitor. the valve should have continuity through the the 2 connections.. its poosible to have 110v to ground at ignitor, the only way you get 110v you need to check power across the 2 wires to the ignitor( not to ground), and this will not happen with a bad safety vavle

Lighting pilot of GE gas stove

According to the model number you supplied it looks like your oven use a glow bar ignitor not a pilot light. In that case there is no place to hold a fire. what happens with these when you turn the oven on 120 volts goes to the ignitor causing it to heat up ,the amp draw across the ignitor causes the gas safety valve to open, and then lights the gas. So if you turn your oven on you should see a bright red glow if not probably the the ignitor, to check it you would have to verify you actually have power going to it. If the ignitor glows but the gas valve does not open you will still need to replace the ignitor has to pull about 3.2 amps across ignitor to open safety valve. Your broil burner works the same way. And most of the ovens the floor of the oven comes out to allow easier acess to the ignitor. also if you have to change the ignitor put just a dab of dish detergent on the screws to help from stripping them
