• Pilot flame is not lit.
• Pilot flame is too small.
• Air shutter needs adjustment.
• Top burner orifice blocked.
• Burner venturi, cap, ignition ports or
flash tube clogged or out of
adjustment.
• Low gas pressure.
• Incorrect conversion to LP gas.
• Pilot flame is not lit.
• Pilot flame is too small.
• Air shutter needs adjustment.
• Burner ignition ports or orifice
clogged.
• Low gas pressure.
• Incorrect conversion to LP gas.
• No heater pilot.
• Heater pilot not heating sensor.
• Failed sensor.
• Failed regulator.
• Pilot flame not adjusted correctly.
• Pilot orifice dirty.
• Strong drafts in the room.
• Low gas pressure.
• Pilot filter or harness blocked (top
burner).
• Failed thermostat (oven burner).
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death,
disconnect power and gas supply before servicing,
unless testing requires it.
• Verify and relight pilot if necessary.
• Adjust pilot for correct flame.
• Adjust air shutter.
• Check orifice for blockage, do not
enlarge or distort opening.
• Clean burner and verify proper
alignment.
• Verify correct gas pressure.
• Verify correct conversion procedures.
• Verify and relight pilot if necessary.
• Adjust pilot for correct flame.
• Adjust air shutter .
• Check orifice and burner for blockage,
clean if necessary.
• Verify correct gas pressure.
• Verify correct conversion procedures.
• Check for blockage at pilot orifice and
tubing. Verify gas pressure. If all OK,
replace thermostat.
• Check for blockage at pilot orifice and
tubing. Verify proper pilot setting on
thermostat, proper location of the
sensor, gas pressure. Pilot flame
should envelope the sensor. If above
procedures check OK, but the flame is
not large enough, replace thermostat.
• If above procedures are OK, replace
safety valve.
• Verify gas pressure.
• Adjust pilot correctly.
• Clean orifice, do not enlarge or distort
pilot opening.
• Check for opened windows or doors.
Verify no holes in floor or wall behind
