just interested chatter

the igniter takes a few seconds to start to heat

Is that because it is new

igniter takes a few seconds to start to heat

Sounds like normal operation, it doesn't immeadilty start glowing once the dryer is started.

Hot surface dryer and oven igniters

Normally take 10 or 15 seconds to start glowing when they are energized doesn’t matter whether it’s the round type or than newer flat type igniter.

It’s usually easier on most gas dryers to remove the entire burner assembly to install the igniter where you can really work on it and not have to work through the small opening in the front of the machine. I find there’s less chance of breaking the fragile ceramic igniter by removing the whole thing.

Yep my friend took it out of the dryer to work on it

Had a tough time getting the broke one out

Really had a tough time getting the new one in as well

That metal holder is really tight

Getting the round igniter out of the brackets

It’s easy if you unscrew the screws on the back of the bracket otherwise you bend holders and you don’t have enough tension afterwards and you’ll sometimes get a bad connection.

I always just install the flat igniters. They’re more reliable because you don’t have the connection problem.

yeah we had to do that because we broke the new igniter trying to get it in the holder
