thanks, guys. sorry its a Kenmore model 11087870100 22000 btu/h i
got 120v to the gas valves.

I see it's fixed now, but for something next time, you shouldn't stop
with the voltage. Unplug it and check the resistance across the gas
valves. It shouldn't be zero ohms on the lowest scale and they
shouldn't be infinity. (shorted and open). I'm sure that even if it
is inbetween the electric part of the valve could be bad, and
certainly the mechanical part, but that would be rare. Most failures
of most simple electrical things are opens or shorts.

P&M

the ignitor does not glow however when
i shorted across the sensor (flame) the ignitor glowed but the gas
valve didnt open. should the gas valve open when the sensor "sees"
the glow from the ignitor? or does the sensor switch need to open
after it sees the glow ( to allow the gas to come on)?? at this
point i'd think its the flame sensor.....what u think? thanks
