Replace the PC board.
•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
NOTE: If PC board goes into lockout, reset system. Lockout is used on L.P.G. models.
