|
| 4. | Defective wiring or connections | 4. | Conduct a test with a jumper wire and |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| repair as required |
| |
|
|
| 5. | Excessive length of thermostat | 5. | Reduce wire length to less than 100 feet or |
| |
|
|
|
| wire from valve to wall switch or |
| increase wire size |

|
|
|
|
| 7. | Defective Valve | 7. | Turn valve and “ON/OFF” switch to the |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| “ON” position. Check with millivolt meter |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| at terminals |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| should read greater then 460 millivolts. If |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| the reading is OK and the burner does not |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| come on, replace the gas valve |
| |
|
|
| 8. | Thermopile may not be | 8. | Recheck using the millivolt meter. The |
| |
|
|
|
| generating sufficient voltage |
| pilot flame may not be high enough for the |
| |
|
|
|
| (460 mV) |
| flame to properly engulf the thermopile. If |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| so, adjust and reset. If voltage is still |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| insufficient, replace thermopile |
| |
