IntelliFire Ignition System - (continued)

Symptom

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

4. Pilot lights but contin-

ues to spark, and main

burner will not ignite.

(If the pilot continues

to spark after the

pilot fl ame has been lit,

fl ame rectifi cation has

not occurred.)

a. A shorted or loose connection in fl ame

sensing rod.

Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify

connections underneath pilot assembly are tight. Verify

connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot

burner, pilot enclosure or screen if present, or any other

metal object.

b. Poor fl ame rectifi cation or contaminated

fl ame sensing rod.

With fi xed glass assembly in place, verify that fl ame is en-

gulfi ng fl ame sensing rod on left side of pilot hood. Flame

sensing rod should glow shortly after ignition. Verify cor-

rect pilot orifi ce is installed and gas inlet is set to pressure

specifi cations. Polish fl ame sensing rod with fi ne steel wool

to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated

on fl ame sensing rod.

c. Module is not grounded.

Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of

appliance. Verify that wire harness is fi rmly connected to

the module.

d. Damaged pilot assembly or contami-

nated fl ame sensing rod.

Verify that ceramic insulator around the fl ame sensing rod

is not cracked, damaged, or loose. Verify connection from

fl ame sensing rod to white sensor wire. Polish fl ame sens-

ing rod with fi ne steel wool to remove any contaminants

that may have accumulated on fl ame sensing rod. Verify

continuity with a multimeter with ohms set at lowest range.

Replace pilot if any damage is detected.

e. Module.

Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position.

Remove ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF rocker

switch or wall switch in ON position. If there is no spark at

“I” terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark at

“I” terminal, module is fi ne.
