When this repair makes sense
- Almost always
When replacement may be the better choice
- Not by itself
Signs the igniter / flame sensor may not be the problem
- An igniter that does not glow can be a flame sensor stuck open or a thermal fuse, not the igniter.
- Heat that cuts out mid-cycle with a good igniter can point to weak valve coils.
- Gas appliance testing needs a professional because of leak and carbon monoxide risks.
