Wayne for Model Number Genwb2x9154 igniter oven- Jgbp30wev4ww GEXL44 317B6034 When you turn the oven on and the igniter glows to light the gas. Does the igniter turn off or does the igniter glow as long as the oven is on? An igniter on a furnace glow lights the gas then turns off.
Answer Wayne, yes, the igniter will remain energized as long as the oven needs to heat. The glow or radiance of the igniter will subside but will continue to glow in order to keep the safety valve bimetal open for heat. once the temperature is achieved, the power to the igniter will be removed, the igniter will cease to glow and the valve will close, until the temperature cycles down approximately 50 dgrs.F. then the ignition and bake process will repeat until the oven is turned off or canceled.
