5.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING
SYMPTOM | POSSIBLE CAUSE | CORRECTIVE ACTION |
|
|
|
I.Pilot will not light after A. No spark at electrode (weak or not heat source for pilot ignition) repeated triggering of the
piezo ignition button
| 1. | Improper ignition | 1. | Align the electrode with 1/8” (3mm) gap |
|
|
|
|
| to pilot hood |
|
| 2. | Poor connections at igniter | 2. | Reconnect if loose |
|
|
| and ignition electrode |
|
|
|
| 3. | Broken ceramic cover on | 3. | Replace pilot assembly |
|
|
| ignition electrode |
|
|
|
| 4. | Defective piezo igniter | 4. | Replace piezo igniter |
|
| B. No gas or low gas pressure |
|
|
| |
| 1. | Gas line shut off(s) may not be | 1. | Turn of |
|
|
| turned on |
|
|
|
| 2. | No gas supply (LPG) | 2. | Check propane tank; you may be out of |
|
|
|
|
| fuel |
|
| 3. | Air in gas lines | 3. | Purge gas lines |
|
| 4. | Gas lines may not be | 4. | Connect all gas lines |
|
|
| connected |
|
|
|
| 5. | Low pressure may be caused | 5. | Check for a kinked line |
|
|
| by bent line |
|
|
|
| 6. | Valve control knob not fully | 6. | Fully depress control knob |
|
|
| depressed in “PILOT” position |
|
|
|
II. Pilot will not stay lit after | A. Thermocouple / Valve |
|
|
| |
following the lighting |
|
|
|
|
|
instructions |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1. | Weak or improperly located | 1. | Adjust and clean pilot. The flame must |
|
|
| pilot flame |
| impinge on or engulf the thermocouple. |
|
| 2. | Defective thermocouple | 2. | Have the thermostat contacts open and |
|
|
|
|
| pilot lit with the knob turned to the "Pilot" |
|
|
|
|
| position. Reading should be a minimum |
|
|
|
|
| of 18 mV for a new thermocouple, if the |
|
|
|
|
| reading is less than 18mV replace the |
|
|
|
|
| thermocouple. |
|
| 3. | Thermocouple not installed | 3. | Make sure all wire connections at the gas |
|
|
| properly |
| valve terminals are tight and the |
|
|
|
|
| thermocouple is fully inserted into the |
|
|
|
|
| mounting bracket |
|
| 4. Open wire connection in pilot | 4. | Check wire continuity and connections in |
| |
|
| circuit |
| the pilot circuit |
