If pilot burner stays on
Problem is a wire or component short to cabinet or low gas pressure
If burner does not remain lit, attach millivolt meter and read pilot output
If above 500mV, replace gas valve
Check for adequate water
flow from filter
Replace pressure switch
If main burner fires,
remove jumper
Replace thermostat
If main burner does
NOT fire...
Jump across each
high limit and remove
jumper
Replace high limit that caused heater to fire
If below 500mV, check gas pressure. Also check for insects or debris in the pilot burner
If output is still low, replace pilot generator
