16 Troubleshooting
With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of

| out to metal chassis, pilot burner, pilot enclosure, mesh screen if |
|
| present, or any other metal object. |
|
|
|
| C. Ignitor gap is too large. | Verify gap of igniter to right side of pilot hood. The gap should be |
|
| approximately .17 inch or 1/8 in. (3 mm). |
| D. Module. | Remove ignitor wire “I” from module. Place a grounded wire |
|
| about 3/16 in. (5 mm) away from “I” terminal on module. Activate |
|
| LUX60 with the POWER button of the remote. If there is no spark |
|
| at “I” terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark at |
|
| “I” terminal, module is fine. Inspect pilot assembly for shorted |
|
| sparker wire or cracked insulator around electrode. Replace pilot |
|
| if necessary. |

|
| Replace any damaged components. |
| C. Improper wall switch wiring. | Verify that 110/VAC power is “ON” to junction box. |
|
|
|
| D. Module not grounded. | Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to |
|
| metal chassis of appliance. |
| E. Module. | Remove ignitor wire “I” from module. Activate LUX60 with the |
|
| POWER button of the remote. If there is no spark at “I” terminal |
|
| module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, |

|
| mm). |
| C. Module is not grounded. | Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of appliance. |
