 Check for missing fasteners

TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM

 Check temperature probes and limits for carbon build up and plating. Clean as required
 Check proper mounting of probes and sensors and all fasteners are secure.
 Check thermistor probe resistances for stability.
 Check Controller/thermostat features to ensure they are functioning.
 Check Temperature Calibration

GAS COMBUSTION SYSTEM

 Check for gas leaks.
 Check and clean vent tube on gas control valve pressure regulator.
 Check burners, clean debris and grease from pilot and pilot orifice tips.
 Check and adjust the burner pressure to nameplate reading.
 Check incoming gas pressure to the appliance under static and dynamic conditions.
 Check ignition system and adjust pilot flame as required.
Check flame sensor reading.
Check gap spacing and clean igniter.
 Recheck for gas leaks after inspection.
