TROUBLESHOOTING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
ote: Before troubleshooting, make sure that the appliance main line gas shut-off valve and the gas control valve are in the "OPEN"
N
position and the burner ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
Important: Valve system troubleshooting should only be accomplished by a qualified service technician.
SYMPTOM
1. Burner will not light.
2. Burners come "ON" but
go "OFF."
START
• Turn Off Gas Supply
• Assure Valve Switch Is In ON Position
• Disconnect Control Harness
• Set Thermostat To Call For Heat

The 90 Second Ignition Trial. All Voltage
Measurements Must Be Taken While The Igniter
Is Powered.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
A. Faulty Valve System.
B. "OFF/ON" or wall switch
defective.
A. Burner orifice plugged.
B. Obstructed vent system.
• 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.
YES
• Plug Control Harness Into Valve. Wait For
Internal Check Delay.
• Igniter Warms Up And Glows Red.

CORRECTIVE ACTION
See Below.
Disconnect the two black wires from the wire nuts. Test switch(s) for
continuity 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.
CHECK
• Line Voltage Power
NO
• Low Voltage Transformer
• Limit Controller
• Thermostat

• Wiring
• With Pilot Burner Cable Connected, Measure

Voltage At Valve HSI Element Output. 24V
Nominal. (See Insert B)
• Replace Igniter/Flame Rod Assembly.
NO • 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.
• Replace Pilot Assembly.
• Check That Pilot Flame Makes Good Contact With
Pilot Burner Flame Rod.
NO
• 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.
• Main Burner Lights.
NO
• Replace Valve.
