47 Quadra-Fire • Expression 36 (QV36A-FB) • 2062-900 Rev. S • 11/11
IntelliFire Ignition System - (continued)
Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action
3. (Continued) Pilot lights
but continues to spark,
and main burner will not
ignite. (If the pilot contin-
ues to spark after the pilot
fl ame has been lit, fl ame
rectifi cation has not oc-
curred.) c. Module is not grounded. Verify that module is securely grounded to metal chassis
of appliance. Verify that wire harness is fi rmly connected to
module.
d. Damaged pilot assembly or dirty sensor
rod. Verify that ceramic insulator around the sensor rod is not
cracked, damaged, or loose. Verify connection from sensor
rod to white sensor wire. Polish sensor rod with fi ne steel
woolA to remove any contaminants that may have accumu-
lated on sensor rod. Verify continuity with a multimeter with
ohms set at lowest range.
e. Faulty module. Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF posi-
tion. Remove ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF
Rocker switch or wall switch in ON position. Hold ground
wire about 3/16 inch away from “I” terminal on module. If
there is no spark at “I” terminal module must be replaced.
If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fi ne. Inspect
pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator
around electrode.
4. Pilot sparks, but Pilot
will not light. a. Correct gas supply. Verify that incoming gas line ball valve is “open”. Verify that
inlet pressure reading is within acceptable limits.
b. Ignitor gap is too large. Verify that spark gap from ignitor to pilot hood is .17 in. or
1/8 in.
c. Module is not grounded. Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of
appliance.
d. Module voltage output / Valve/Pilot
solenoid ohms readings. Verify battery voltage is at least 2.7 volts. Replace batteries
if voltage is below 2.7.
