The 41-207 is a silicon carbide resistive igniter. When the oven control board calls for heat, it sends 120V AC through the igniter element. The silicon carbide material heats to glowing red-hot temperature (about 2200°F) within 30-60 seconds and stays at that temperature while drawing current.
In oven applications, the igniter sits adjacent to a bimetal gas safety valve. As the igniter heats up, it warms a bimetal strip inside the valve, which physically opens the gas valve seat. Only then does gas flow to the burner orifice — and the same hot igniter immediately lights it. This is the "positive shut-off" design that prevents unburned gas from accumulating.
Failure modes: cracked silicon carbide element (no glow), weakened resistance over time (glows but not hot enough to open the bimetal valve — the most common failure), shorted element (blows the oven fuse), or broken mounting bracket. Replacing the igniter with a genuine Robertshaw 41-207 restores reliable oven ignition.
