Corrective Action
Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify connec-
tions underneath pilot assembly are tight. Verify fl ame sense or ig-
niter wires are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot
enclosure or screen if present, or any other metal object.
With fi xed glass assembly in place, verify that fl ame is engulfi ng
fl ame sensing rod on left side of pilot hood. Flame sensing rod
should glow shortly after ignition. With a multi-meter, verify that cur-
rent in series between module and sense lead is at least 0.14 mi-
croamps. Verify correct pilot orifi ce is installed and gas inlet is set to
pressure specifi cations. Clean fl ame sensing rod with emery cloth
to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on fl ame
sensing rod.
Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of appliance.
Verify that wire harness is fi rmly connected to the module.
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. Clean fl ame sensing rod with emery cloth
to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on fl ame
sensing rod. Verify continuity with a multi-meter with ohms set at
lowest range. Replace pilot if any damage is detected.
