Glow Bar Igniter
Posted by: | Comments2000 Sears Kenmore Range made by G.E. (Model#362.75205891): Oven won’t work, the glow bar wouldn’t glow orange at all to let the oven valve start releasing the gas flow into the burner. I found the oven igniter glow bar was out, tested it with my ohm meter, found no continuity through it. Also I check to make sure the glow bar igniter was getting 120 volts, and it was. I installed a new glow bar igniter.
