Sean for Model Number kenmore model 417 921 42100 The ignitor didn't used to glow. I replaced it, even though the previous one does pass the continuity test. So I have a new ignitor. When I turn on the dryer, the ignitor comes on red hot, glows for about 15 seconds then goes out. There is another post that says "make sure the ignitor is in the flame". I'm not sure what this means, as I do not get any flame. It also says, the flame sensor may not be opening and will need to be replaced. How would I know/test that? Thanks, Sean
Answer Hello Sean. You can test the flame sensor 5303281135 for continuity. It should read closed. If it is open, you will need to replace the flame sensor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
