If you are hearing the click [ the sound is one of the two gas valves opening ] and you are seeing the ignitior heat the problem is in the gas burner area and NOWHERE else.
If the ignitior stays on and does not cycle off in a minute or so you have a bad flame sensor. If the ignitor shuts off in a minute or two you have bad valve coils or a bad gas valve it self. |

The ignitor doesn't come on at all. So, I can't even get to the gas valve opening up yet. |

Will it fire on any heat/cycle setting? If not, see if you have voltage out of the timer. the symptom you described above sounds like a bad timer. |
