Tried disconnecting the flame sensor while igniter is glowing and got instant flame. Assumed the flame sensor was bad and replaced it. Reassembled dryer and started it and flame started as it should. Came back 5 min later and dryer is cold with the igniter glowing again and no flame. I took apart my "bad" flame sensor to see if it was actually not functioning. Held a lighter up to the sensor and the sensor seemed to worked fine lifing the Contact off the terminal and interrupting the continuity. Is my igniter just not hot enough? Or is there something im missing? The igniter glowing pretty bright orange but doesn't seem to trip the flame sensor not matter how long I wait.
