I just replaced the igniter and it's lighting. Oven works fine.
I watched it as it went through the cycle and I noticed while the gas is on
the igniter is on. When the gas goes off the igniter goes off.
Is this correct?
TIA
Jim

Hi,
Comparing to a furnace ignitor's job is only igniting the gas. Once gas
is ignited ignitor goes off.

Everything I've seen on the net suggests it stays on while it's burning. No
wonder they burn out.

On the ones I've dealt with, the igniter is in series with the valve
coil, so it's failsafe -- if the igniter fails the valve won't open.

Hmmm,
That does not make sense. Why ignitor has tp be kept on once gas ignite?
No wonder it does not last. Wonder how many ignitors the oven will need
in it's life span. Furnace has a flame sensor to watch flame.
Very weird design.
