Oven Burner/Broil Burner will
not turn on. "Selector" switch set
on BAKE/BROIL. Thermostat set

position.

NOTE: The flat type ignitor
used in these models has an
operating current range of from
3.2 amps A.C. to 3.6 amps A.C.
The gas valve is calibrated to
open at slightly over 3.2 amps,
since the ignitor will be hot
enough to ignite any gas flowing
from the burner. The current
can be checked using a
clamp-on ammeter or an in-line
ammeter. If the current does not
reach 3.2 amps, replace the
ignitor.
