13. TROUBLE SHOOTING

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Spark will not arc to the pilot after

Defective piezo ignitor

Check connections to ignitor

repeated pressing of spark ignitor

 

-If ignitor connections are good but there is no

 

 

spark-replace ignitor

 

 

 

 

Broken spark electrode

-Check for broken ceramic insulation

 

 

replace, electrode if broken

 

 

 

 

Miss-aligned spark electrode

-If spark is not arcing from the electrode to pilot-

 

 

adjust by loosening screws on pilot base. Adjust

 

 

away from burner and re-tighten

 

 

 

Pilot will not remain lit

Problem with thermocouple circuit

-Check for proper connection of thermocouple to

 

 

rear of valve. If loose, tighten lightly

 

 

-Check pilot for full flame impingement around

 

 

thermocouple. If the pilot is to small - Check gas

 

 

pressure, adjust pilot rate screw, check pilot head

 

 

for blockage.

 

 

-Check thermocouple voltage at rear of valve-

 

 

must be greater than 5 mV. If low , replace

 

 

thermocouple.

 

 

 

 

Air in gas line - (Pilot flame dies

-Bleed line.

 

while knob is depressed.)

-Check gas line pressure.

 

 

-Contact dealer.

 

 

 

Burners will not remain lit

Problem with thermopile circuit

-Check gas-line pressure.

 

 

-Check for flame impingement on

 

 

thermopile, if low see “Pilot will not

 

 

stay lit”

 

 

-check thermopile for a Minimum of

 

 

300 mV when burner switched on.

 

 

-Check wiring to thermostat for breaks.

 

 

-Check for spillage at draft hood that may trip spill

 

 

switch.

 

 

 

Flame lifting

- Leak in vent pipe

-check for leaks in vent connections

 

- Improper vent configuration

-check vent configuration with manual

 

- Terminal may be recirculating

-check to see if terminal is on correctly

 

flue gases

-May need to install high wind termination cap

 

 

-contact dealer.

 

 

 

insuficiant air for combustion

- Air tight house

- supply make up air to the unit.

 

- A Vacuum in room due

 

 

to other air moving device

 

 

EG. Kitchen fan

 

 

 

 

Glass fogs up

Normal conditions - after the appliance

warms up glass will clear

 

** Due to additives in gas, glass may get hazy during normal use**

 

Clean when needed.

 

 

 

Blue flames

Normal during start - flame will yellow as the appliance heats up.

 

 

 

Flames are burning “dirty” or Sooting

Flame impingement

-check log position

 

 

-increase primary air by opening venturi shutters
