Answer

Hello Bill. The most common failure is the igniter. The easiest way to test the igniter is with a clamp on amp meter TJMA-600CFA. The gas valve will not open until 3.2 to 3.6 amps of current passes through the igniter. If you never achieve this current draw, the igniter W10918546 requires replacement. Hope this helps!
