I just replaced the ignitor on may range oven. Does the ignitor continue to glow after the flame comes on?

The igniter is wired in series with the burner valve. When the thermostat calls for heat, line voltage is applied to the circuit. As the igniter begins to glow, the current increases. The current flow causes the valve to open when the igniter becomes bright red (almost white). It stays on and keeps the burner valve open as long as the thermostat (temperature control) calls for heat.
