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 shut-off valves
		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
