Steady State Current = 2.5 TO 3.0 Amps @ 115 ±1 VAC @ 75˚F ±10˚ Ambient.

Cold Resistance = 50 Ω TO 1100 Ω @ 75˚F ±10˚ Ambient.

Maximum Operating Temperature Not To Exceed 2650˚F @ 115 ±1 VAC @ 75˚F ±10˚ Ambient.

Description

The purpose of the oven burner igniters is to ignite the gas at the bake or broiler burner.

The silicon carbide oven igniter material pro- vides the temperature needed to safely ignite the oven burner. When electrical power is applied to the silicon carbide, the temperature of the material increases by two, and the resis- tance of the material decreases. By placing a current-sensitive safety valve electrically in series with the oven igniter, the safety valve opens when the igniter goes above a certain temperature. This combination used in the oven circuit is designed to have the safety valve open when the oven igniter is at, or above, 1800˚ F. The current in the circuit is 3.2 amps.

Test Procedure

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect from electrical supply before ser- vicing unit.

Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

1.Igniter does not glow.

a)Turn the gas off and pull the range away from the wall.

b)Disconnect the oven igniter quick-dis- connect from the main harness con- nector.

c)Connect an ohmmeter across the ter-

minals of the igniter plug. If the meter reads less than 1000 Ω, check the other components in the oven circuit

for an open. If the meter reads over 1000 Ω, replace the igniter.

2.Oven igniter glows, but the gas safety valve does not open.

a)Turn the gas off and pull the range away from the wall.

b)Disconnect the oven igniter quick-dis- connect from the main harness con- nector.

c)Connect an ampmeter across the ter- minals of the igniter plug. If the meter reads 3.2 amps or higher, check the gas pressure for gas at the safety valve, and the safety valve itself.

If the meter reads less than 3.2 amps, and the line voltage is over 100-volts AC, replace the igniter.

If the voltage and current is normal, check the output of the pressure regu- lator . If the pressure drops and bounces back more than .2 inch, re- place the regulator.
