Quite often if you get heat at first but later on you don't it's a bad burner coil on the burner assembly. They will ohm out good at first but when it fails to light you can ohm test the coils, and one of them will have an open cicuit, or infinite ohms. There are coil kits that have both coils so you can change them both out at the same time. Scott
