Testing the Ignitor
Perform a simple room temperature resistance (RTR) test after installing a new ignitor. (Remember to •
disconnect the leads to ensure that only the resistance of the ignitor is measured.) If the RTR is not to
specifi cation (see Ignitor Specifi cations, below), the silicon carbide tip is cracked.
Perform an RTR test when troubleshooting an appliance where the ignitor is suspect. While the RTR •
will be higher on a used ignitor, the resistance should be no more than double the original resistance
at installation.
Observe the ignitor during heat up. If a bright white line across one of the ignitor legs is detected, a •
crack may exist that could cause premature failure. Allow the ignitor to cool, then perform an RTR
test.
Additional signs of a crack are an “open” ignitor or a buildup of white silica dust around the bright •
spot. Replace the ignitor if you see these cracks.
Maximum ambient temperature of wire/element connection within block is 905°F/485°C when 450°C •
wire is used.
Caution should be exercised to assure temperature does not exceed the
recommended maximums.
