TROUBLESHOOTING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

See Below.

Disconnect the two black wires from the wire nuts. Test switch(s) for continu-

ity with a multimeter. If continuity is not indicated, switch(s) is defective and

must be replaced.

Note: Before replacing “OFF/ON” switch, be sure to check wiring for loose

connections or broken wires and repair as needed.

Check main burner orifice(s) for stoppage. Clean or replace.

Check vent system for obstructions.

A. Faulty Valve System.

B. “OFF/ON” or wall switch

defective.

A. Burner orifice plugged.

B. Obstructed vent system.

1. Burner will not light.

2. Burners come “ON” but

go “OFF.”

N

ote: Before troubleshooting, be sure that the appliance main line gas shut-off valve, the gas control valve and the wall switch are in

the “ON” position.
Important: Valve system troubleshooting should only be accomplished by a qualified service technician.

• Turn Off Gas Supply

• Assure Valve Switch Is In ON Position

• Disconnect Control Harness

• Set Thermostat To Call For Heat

• Check For Proper Voltage At Control Harness

(See Insert A). Voltage Should Be 24V

Between Thermostat Or Pressure Switch

And 24V Common And 24V Hot.

• Line Voltage Power

• Low Voltage Transformer

• Limit Controller

• Thermostat

• Wiring

CHECK

START

NO

• Plug Control Harness Into Valve. Wait For

Internal Check Delay.

YES

• Igniter Warms Up And Glows Red.

• With Pilot Burner Cable Connected, Measure

Voltage At Valve HSI Element Output. 24V

Nominal. (See Insert B)

NO

• Replace Igniter/Flame Rod Assembly.

YES

• Replace Valve.

NO

• Turn On Gas Supply. • Pilot Burner Lights.

• Check That Pilot Gas Is Flowing. Wait To

Assure Plot Gas Tubing Is Purged. Recycle

Call For Heat If Necessary.

• Measure Voltage Between 24V Hot And 24V Common

Leads To Valve Control. Must Measure At Least 19.5

VAC With Igniter Powered (See Insert A). To Identify

Proper Lead, This Check Must Be Done With The

Valve Control Connected And Igniter Powered.

• Check Transformer And

Line Volt Supply.

NO

• Replace Pilot Assembly.

YES

• Check That Pilot Flame Makes Good Contact With

Pilot Burner Flame Rod.

• Check For Good Electrical Connection Through The

Pilot Tubing.

• If Both Of The Above Are Good, Replace Igniter/Flame

Rod Assembly.

• Cycle Thermostat Off And Back On.

YES

• Main Valve Opens And Main Burner Lights.

NO

YES

• System Is Okay.

YES

• Main Burner Lights.

NO

Igniter Will Cycle Off And Back On Once During

The 90 Second Ignition Trial. All Voltage

Measurements Must Be Taken While The Igniter

Is Powered.

When Measured Voltage At Connections, Use

Care To Assure Terminals Are Not Damaged.

• Replace Valve.

• Replace Valve.
