Samsung NX58H5600SS/AA Gas Oven not lighting

[dojustly]

As title would suggest, my oven isn't lighting some of the time, but ignitor seems to be glowing like normal. Mostly inopportune times, like when Thanksgiving Turkey needs to go in the oven is when it won't light. Have tried opening door and closing it fast, but if that has worked, its only been coincidental. Replaced the Control board last year. Range is 3 years old.

What can I check/replace, so this Thanksgiving isn't like last!?!

Konichiwa,

Ignitor. Odds are through the roof it's the ignitor.

Thanks for the reply and the advice!

do you recall what was the outcome on this

[dojustly]

The ignitor was indeed the problem! It took 3 tries at replacing the ignitor for the fix to work. I finally learned to test the ignitor to make sure it provided the correct voltage signal before installation! Range has been working as intended for 6 months now.

voltage signal.  ?

I think it's supposed to be 1, 1 what I don't remember, but the other 2i tried didn't register anything.

My wife just reminded me that we learned not to touch the ignitor with bare hands or fingers...oil can make it fail, kinda like a light bulb.

That's a mystery to me, I've got one just like it. Hope to make more sense of this Saturday by running down a loose connection.
