Ignitor measures 49 ohms. No glow and no start.
Supply volts are 120.
Power to ignitor from relay or transistor?

Bad board?

Any ideas?
 
Supply volts are 120 to the stove or the ignitor? If it's to the ignitor, is that with the ignitor plugged in?
 
Measure the voltage at the igniter connectors with the igniter disconnected. If it's less than the supply voltage then its a board issue for sure.

this would be the correct test, if the voltage isnt measuring at least 110V ac then the issue is in the board

Thanks for replies! Spent some time on the phone with Tech from Englander. Ignitor is fine. So took a close look at control board. Looks like the same circuits/components used on all switched AC outputs. Ordered a new Triac for Ignitor output. The one that is on board now looks
like it may have over heated. Stove works great except for auto light.
Also, thanks to Englander tech for help!
