		connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot burner,
		pilot enclosure, mesh screen if present, or any other metal object.
	c. Ignitor gap is too large.	Verify gap of igniter to pilot hood. The gap should be approximately
		.17 inch or 1/8 inch.
	d. Faulty module.	Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove
		ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF Rocker switch or wall
		switch in ON position. Hold ground wire about 3/16 inch away from
		“I” terminal on module. If there is no spark at “I” terminal module
		must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I” terminal, module is fine.
		Inspect pilot assembly for shorted sparker wire or cracked insulator
		around electrode.

		Remove and verify continuity of each wire in wiring harness.
	c. Improper wall switch wiring.	Verify that 110/VAC power is “ON” to junction box.
	d. Module not grounded.	Verify black ground wire from module wire harness is grounded to
		metal chassis of appliance.
	e. Faulty module.	Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position. Remove
		ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF Rocker switch or wall
