Does anyone have a resistance reading for a hot surface ignitor?

A Rheem 120 volt ignitor does not seem to get hot but it does get 120 volts to the leads. Seems to be infinite DC Ohms reading.

    The 120 AC volts are there but the ignitor must likely does not have continuity possible cracks...Usually you can inspect this by just catefully looking at however the best way is to disconnect the 120 AC an test for a continuity reading.
