| Problem with gas valve. | • Use a DC voltmeter to measure the voltage across the TPTH and | |
|
| TP terminals. Main operator voltage: Open circuit ≥ 325mV Closed | |
|
| circuit ≥ 100mV | |
|
| • If voltage is not present, check the control circuit for proper | |
|
| operation. | |
|
| • If proper control system voltage is present, replace the gas control. | |

|
| • Check pilot for full flame impingement around thermocouple. If flame | |
|
| is too small, check gas pressure, adjust pilot rate screw, check pilot | |
|
| head for damage. | |
|
| • Check thermocouple voltage at valve. It must be greater than 5 mV. | |
|
| If low, replace thermocouple. | |

|
| • Check thermopile for minimum of 300 mV when burner is switched | |
|
| on. | |
|
| • Check wiring to thermostat for breaks. | |

|
| • Contact dealer. | |
