Ok my stove wont light , ive checked resistance on the ignitor and it reads 36 ,if it doesnt go to zero doesnt it mean ignitor is bad. Sorry for the typing im sending this from a nook.

Well, if you ohmed it out and it was ok and it is not getting red, then I would say it is either the fuse, or the ignitor wire is not attached properly to the motherboard. Did you get the manual I sent you? Also when this is all figured out, I would purchase at least one spare ignitor because eventually they do go bad and then you have one on hand.farmboy said:No cant see it getting red and cant feel anything getting warm.
Can you try re-sending it?tsmith said:Sounds like the ignitor is not getting juice, could be bad fuse or un -attatched wires etc. I am emailing you the manual it will explain all this and show how to do it.Could also be a bad thermocoupler.
I am doing that now, do you have adobe reader to open it?farmboy said:Can you try re-sending it?tsmith said:Sounds like the ignitor is not getting juice, could be bad fuse or un -attatched wires etc. I am emailing you the manual it will explain all this and show how to do it.Could also be a bad thermocoupler.

Good advice,where are the fuses located? I didn't see anything in the manual about how to access them,also I couldnt open the e-mail you sent.

I am resending it from another email address I have it is the same name as before but from hotmail.farmboy said:I disconnected the 2 spade terminals labeled ignitor, set the meter to ohms and touched each terminal going back to ignitor. I routinely check switches at work but wasnt sure what ignitor was supposed to read. Maybe try and send to my work e-mail as there may be an issue with aol and attachments . I will PM you ,thanks.
Good, glad you finally got it, it should help alot. If it is not the ignitor, fuses or cut wires, unfortunately it could be either the motherboard or the thermostat, I would make sure to get the dealer out to fix it under warranty.farmboy said:Aha got it. Thanks a million, will keep you posted. Still haven't gotten in touch with dealer.
