- loosen and tighten thermocouple.

- clean thermocouple and valve connection. - replace thermocouple.

- replace.

- connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals; if main burner lights, replace switch / thermostat.

- disconnect switch wires & connect a jumper wire across terminals 1 & 3; if the main burner lights, check the wires for defects and / or replace wires.

- remove stoppage in orifice. - replace.

- Vent has become blocked or disconnected. Correct. See Figure 2.

- Unit has overheated. See Figure 2

- check if pilot can be lit by a match

- check that the wire is connected to the push button ignitor. - check if the push button ignitor needs tightening.

- replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed.

- replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken. - replace the push button ignitor.

- fill the tank.

- spark gap should be 0.150" to 0.175" (5/32" to 11/64" approx.) from the electrode tip and the pilot burner. To ensure proper electrode location, tighten securing nut (finger tight plus 1/4 turn).

- check that the manual valve is turned on. - check the pilot orifice for blockage.

- replace the valve.

- call the gas distributor.

TEST SOLUTION

- turn up pilot flame.

- replace pilot assembly.

- clean thermopile connection to the valve. Reconnect. - replace thermopile / valve.

- shorten wire to correct length or wire gauge.

- replace.
