ignitor looks like new!

These ignitors fail quite frequently, and it's usually visable - look very closely at the metal and you will see a fracture, it'll have dust on the edges of the crack, this interupts the circuit. You need a new one, price 12.00 to 30.00 depending on model there are a dozen different ones, try a local appliance repair store.
NOTE: these are extremely fragile and shatter easy so handle with care. DO NOT touch the metal-the oils from your finger can lessen the life expectancy.
