TROUBLE SHOOTING
Pilot burner will not stay lit. This could be caused by one (or more) of three problems:
1. Loose connection at thermocouple to the safety control.
2. Worn out thermocouple.
3. Worn out safety control.
To remedy the problem, first check to see if the thermocouple is snug in the safety control.
1. Remove the valve/control cover
3. Light the pilot burner. If the pilot burner stays lit, then the problem was a loose connection at the
thermocouple.
The thermocouple is snug but the pilot burner will not stay lit.
Thermocouples require replacement as often as three months due to the extremely high temperatures in
the combustion chamber of the MBR. To change a themocouple, wait for the unit to cool. Then:
2. Using a 3/8" wrench, insure the thermocouple is
snug in the body of the saftey control. A good rule
is giving a 1/8 turn after finger tightening. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN as it will damage the control.
1. Using a 3/8" wrench, remove the thermocouple
from the control.
3. After the thermocouple is installed at the pilot
burner, thread the brass fitting into the safety
body. It should be snug, but not too tight. A
good rule is giving a 1/8 turn after finger tight-
ening. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN as it will
damage the control. Light pilot.
2. Using a 7/16" wrench, remove and replace
the thermcouple from the pilot burner
bracket. When installing the new
thermocouple, be sure to thread the
adjusting nut up to the top of its travel.
