Combustion stops due to flame failure

1) Is the flame rod functioning normally?

2) Is the earth lead wire connected?

a.

Measure the voltage between the flame rod

terminal C

1

and the appliance earth.

Normal: 5 – 150 VAC from yellow to ground.

If normal, check b below.

Faulty: Replace the PCB unit.

(Service Procedure IGE-2, page 47)

b.

Check that the flame rod attachment is not loose.

Normal: Replace the PCB unit.

(Service Procedure IGE-2, page 47)

Faulty: Secure the flame rod bracket.

a.

Check for defective earth terminal, or an open

circuit or short. If normal, investigate other

possible causes for the flame failure.

(Eg. Is the gas valve open ? Is the filter mesh

blocked ?) Was proper venting material used?

Did you regulate your gas supply pressure to the

proper gas pressure for gas type being used?

Faulty: Ensure unit is properly grounded. Check

ground circuit outside home at service pole.

There should be an eight foot ground rod driven

in the earth and a copper lead tied to the service

meter. Ensure connection on ground rod is tight.

Error code “14” Check the thermal fuse.

a.

# Disconnect connector B3 and C3, measure the

resistance between the red – red wires.

Normal: Less than 1 Ω

If normal, check b below.

Faulty: Check manifold gas pressure. Check heat

exchanger for cracks and/or separations. If there is

nothing abnormal, replace the thermal fuse.

(Service Procedure IGE-11, page 51)

b.

Check bi-metal switch, (remaining flame safety

device). Measure resistance between the two

terminals at B3 and C3.

Normal: Less than 1 Ω

If normal, process to item a below.

Faulty: Replace the bi-metal switch.
