TESTING AN OVEN GLO-BAR IGNITER
If the glo-bar ignitor (see Figure 6-2) does not glow, perform the following steps to test it:
1.
Turn off the gas and electrical power to the range.
2.
Disconnect the oven igniter quick-disconnect plug from the main harness connector.
3.
Connect an ohmmeter across the wire ends or terminals of the glo-bar. If the meter reads over
