Service Manual
CORRECTIVE ACTION
• The control board will release the call for heat after a
set time period.
• The control board will release the call for heat if the
outlet temperature drops too quickly.
• Inspect spark electrode and associated wiring for
damage and connection. Reference page 34 of this
manual for removal and cleaning procedures.
Replace if necessary.
• Check for proper electrical grounding of the unit.
• Check incoming supply gas pressure.
pressures should be between 4 - 14 inches w.c. and
LP gas pressures should be between 8 - 14 inches w.c.
Refer to Section 7 - Gas Connections of the
FTXL Installation and Operation Manual for detailed
information concerning the gas supply.
• Verify that the plastic hose from the gas valve to the air
inlet is connected and is not damaged.
• Verify that the vent/air intake pipes are correctly
installed and that there are no obstructions.
• Check for 24 vac to the gas valve at the 2-pin
connection on the side of the main control board during
the ignition attempt. If no voltage is present, replace
the main control board.
• If 24 vac is present at the main control board, check
the wiring between the main control board and the gas
valve. Replace the wiring if necessary.
disconnect the wiring from the gas valve and attempt to
measure voltage at that point. The main control board
can detect if the gas valve is not connected and will
display the Gas Valve or Gas Valve Fail fault.
• If 24 vac is present, check the outlet of the valve to
ensure the valve is flowing gas. With a manometer
connected to the outlet tap of the gas valve, when the
unit is in the prepurge period, there should be a
negative pressure present.
energized a change in pressure should occur. If the
pressure change does not occur, the gas valve is not
opening. Replace the gas valve.
• Inspect flame sensor
