What is the amperage draw* on the ignition circuit?
*There is NO voltage or resistance test that will help to diagnose the cause of the problem at this point. Only an amperage test is relevant. An ignitor with a white or beige colored rectangular base should draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps. A round base or powder-blue colored rectangular base ignitor should draw 2.5 to 3.0 amps. Spark Ignition Systems –> Conventional Oven models using a ‘conventional’ spark ignition system also have an actual gas pilot like a pilot ignition system but it is not lit all the time. Instead, when the oven thermostat is turned on, gas flows to the oven burner safety valve and also the oven’s pilot which gets lit via a spark. Once the pilot is lit and the oven safety valve’s sensor bulb senses it, that valve will then open to allow gas to flow to the oven burner where the pilot flame ignites the burner.
