The model is a Hotpoint NBXR463GB0WW. I replaced the flame sensor because
after the igniter would heat up, the sensor switch would not open. Now the
switch opens properly, voltage is applied to the solenoids, but it appears
that both valves are not opening. There is the correct amount voltage going
to the coils. The only irregularity I can find is that the secondary coil
resistance is 1325 ohms which is slightly higher than the 1220 ohm reference
level published on many appliance help websites. Is it possible that these
coils can fail even if the windings don't open?

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

Kinda sounds like a bad gas safety valve.

Two coil gas valve assembly.

Is it possible that these
coils can fail even if the windings don't open?

Not normally.
