325 millivolts minimum, while holding the

 

 

valve knob depressed in the pilot position,

 

 

with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch

 

 

in the OFF position. Replace the faulty

 

 

thermopile if the reading is below the

 

 

specified minimum.

 

 

With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect

 

 

the thermopile leads from the valve. Take

 

 

a reading at the thermopile leads. The

 

 

reading should be 325 millivolts minimum.

 

 

Replace the thermopile if the reading is

 

 

below the minimum.

 

 

 

 

c. Defective valve

Turn the valve knob to the ON position.

 

 

Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON

 

 

position. Check the millivolt meter at the

 

 

thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter

 

 

should read greater than 125mV If the

 

 

reading is acceptable, and if the burner

 

 

does not come on, replace the gas valve.
