TESTING AN OVEN GLO-BAR IGNITER

If the glo-bar ignitor (see Figure 6-2) does not glow, perform the following steps to test it:

1.Turn off the gas and electrical power to the range.

2.Disconnect the oven igniter quick-disconnect plug from the main harness connector.

3.Connect an ohmmeter across the wire ends or terminals of the glo-bar. If the meter reads over 1100 Ω, replace the igniter.
