Replaced probe oven nevertheless non working

Hello, I wanted to go some advice on repairing my oven. I read the thread and have already replaced the probe. The ignitor glows merely information technology takes about ten minutes for the flame to come on. Then afterwards about twenty-30 minutes the flame and ignitor go out and the oven makes a click noise. Then a few seconds later the oven clicks again and the ignitor glows again and the cycle starts all over. I replaced the probe every bit that was the cheapest part to beginning with. I read online that the issue could exist the clock which is essentially the controller for the ovenright? Since the clock costs well-nigh $200 I dont want to replace it is information technology isnt that. What are you thoughts?

Ok,

Then I'd ohm out your oven sensor probe thats located in your oven with an ohm meter, you lot can get to the connections to it from the back. Unplug your range kickoff.

Normal ohms on that is 1100 ohms at room temperature.

Here'southward the oven sensor for your model:
Manufacturer part number 316134900 is RepairClinic item number 823643

Howdy Jake, thanks for the reply. My model number is FGFB55ASC. I wanted to ask what it is that leads you to information technology being the ignitor and not the clock? The ignitor is much cheaper so that would be great.

Ok I watched the help video on the page fr the part and see what you are talking about. The ignitor does glow and since the burner takes so long to light then it does appear information technology is the ignitor. I apprecaite the help Jake.

Yup, thats correct.

Here's the ane for your model:

Jeff explains it here:
You may even run into the orange "glow plug" (called a hot surface igniter) glowing orangish so assume that it's OK. Not necessarily!! You have to measure out the current/amp drawn by the igniter and compare it to this repair sheet before you tin can say information technology's OK or not. The gas valve has a bi-metal that open when a sure amount of current flows through information technology to heat information technology upward. The igniter is wired in serial with the gas valve. As the igniter gets older or weaker, it's resistance increases to the point where non enough current is flowing to the gas valve bimetal to open it up. As a issue, the gas valve never opens up. BTW, a common symptom of the early on stages of this problem is erratic temperature control in the oven due to delayed firing of the bake burner while cooking.

Great thanks again Jake. I am going to bank check the amp draw tomorrow. So by the wait of the repair sheet information technology looks like I dont need to accept the ignitor out of the oven to check it. Is that correct?

Yup, thats right.

vii Function Multimeter

which is the one I have.

Yes, but if yous take it out to test it you have to have a cheater test cord to power it at 120 volts.

So yes that would exist fine if you want to go that road.
