NOTE: Before troubleshooting, familiarize yourself with the start-up and checkout
procedure.
Check line voltage power, low voltage transformer, limit controller, thermostat
(controller) and wiring.
Pull ignition lead and check spark at PC board.
Spark Okay?
YES
• Check ignition cable, ground wiring, ceramic insulator and gap, and correct.
• Check boot of the ignition cable for signs of melting or buckling. Take protective
action to shield cable and boot from excessive temperatures.
• Check that all manual gas valves are open, supply tubing and pressures are good,
and pilot burner orifice is not blocked.
• Check electrical connections between PC board and pilot operator on gas control.
• Check for 24 Vac across PV-MV/PV terminals on PC board. If voltage is okay,
replace gas control; if not, replace PC board.
NOTE: If PC board goes into lockout, reset system. Lockout is used on L.P.G.
models.
• Check for 24 Vac across MV-MV/PV terminals. If no voltage, replace module.
• Check electrical connections between PC board and gas control. If okay, replace
gas valve or gas control operator, i.e. pilot gas valve, flow switch etc.
NOTE: IF PC board goes into lockout, reset system.
• Check continuity of ignition cable and ground wire.
NOTE: If ground is poor or erratic, shutdowns may occur occasionally even though
operation is normal at the time of checkout.
• Check that pilot flame covers flame rod and is steady and blue.
• If checks are okay, replace PC board.
• Check for proper thermostat (controller) operation.
• Remove MV lead at module; if valve closes, recheck temperature controller and
wiring; if not, replace gas valve.
