A common ground, usually supplied by the pilot burner bracket, is required for the module and the pilot burner/igniter-sensor.

1.

Check for good metal-to-metal contact

 

between the pilot burner bracket and the

 

main burner.

2.

Check the ground lead from the GND

4.Pull the jumper slowly away from the terminal and note the length of the gap when sparking stops.

5.Check the table below.

(BURNER) terminal on the module to the

pilot burner. Make sure the connections are

clean and tight. If the wire is damaged or

deteriorated, replace it with #14-18 gauge,

moisture-resistant, thermoplastic-insulated

wire with a 221°F/105°C minimum rating.

3. Check the ceramic flame rod insulator for

cracks or evidence of exposure to extreme

heat, which can permit leakage to the

ground. Replace the pilot burner/igniter-

sensor and provide a shield if necessary.

If the flame rod or the bracket are bent out

of position, restore them to the correct

Arc Length

No arc, or arc less than 1/8"/3 mm

Arc 1/8"/3 mm or longer.

What To Do

Check external fuse, if provided.

Verify power at module input terminal.

Replace module if fuse and power are okay.

Nothing. (Voltage output is okay.)

position.

Step 3: Check Spark Ignition Circuit

You will need a short jumper wire made from ignition cable or other heavily insulated wire.

1.Close the manual gas valve.

2.Disconnect the ignition cable at the SPARK terminal on the module.

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, when performing

the following steps, do not touch the

stripped end of the jumper or the SPARK terminal. The ignition circuit generates over 10,000 volts.

3.Energize the module and immediately touch one end of the jumper firmly to the GND terminal on the module. Move the free end of the jumper slowly toward the SPARK terminal until a spark is established.

Step 4: Check Pilot and Main Burner Lightoff

1.Set the thermostat above 200°F/93°C to call for heat.

2.Watch the pilot burner during the ignition sequence. Look for the following:

The ignition spark continues after the pilot is lit

The pilot lights and the spark stops, but the main burner does not light

The pilot lights, the spark stops and the main burner lights, but the system shuts down (S8600H only)

3.If any of the these things happens, make sure the flame current is adequate. Follow these steps:

a.Turn off the fryer and disconnect it from the power source.

b.Clean the flame rod with emery cloth.
