Having trouble with my Fridgidaire oven. Sometimes is just doesn't heat up. Looked up the igniter function referenced in link below.
Don't most resistance heaters increase in resistance as they heat up? Maybe the igniter is not NiChrome.
6-4 "The same thing happens, electrically speaking, with the igniter. When you first apply voltage, the igniter is cold and the resistance is high. When the igniter heats up, the resistance drops, and electricity is able to flow through it more easily, and the voltage across it drops."
