Broiler won't light
 
The burner for a broiler won't light.

It glows fine, but never lights.

It has been taking a long to light up to this point.

It's a Tappan Gas Range, 30 Series.
The stove top burners work fine.

Thanks,
Andy

Sometimes the elements glow, but not hot enough to allow the gas valve to
open. You can do some troubleshooting at www.applianceaid.com or

Thanks.

There were 3 wires going to the ignition unit.

The readings were 2.34, 2.46, and 2.62 amps with the broiler knob
turned on.
Is there some place I can find out what they should be?

Andy
