Flame will not stay on

Flame Sensor

To check for flame sensor operation, connect a digital

 

 

multimeter (capable of measuring D.C. micro amps)

 

 

between the flame sensor wire and Ignition Control.

 

 

Sensor current from sensor control is 3 micro amps

 

 

minimum. If these readings are not achieved replace

 

 

igniter/sensor assembly. Also check for any type of

 

 

damage to flame sensor wire and connections.

 

Ignition Control

If there is sufficient flame sensor current, but the

 

 

burner will not remain ignited, check the reset button

 

 

on ignition control. If all above are okay, replace

 

 

ignition control.

No Pilot

Pilot Orifice

If all above are operating properly, but there is no pilot

 

 

flame, check for any obstructions in pilot orifice.

check for flame sensor operation, connect a digital

 

 

multimeter (capable of measuring D.C. micro

 

 

amperes) between the flame sensor wire and the

 

 

ignition control. NOTE: this is a current measurement

 

 

and the meter must be connected in series. Proper

 

 

current readings should be minimum of 3 micro AMP.

 

 

D.C. If these readings are not achieved, replace

 

 

igniter/sensor assembly. Also check for any type of

 

 

damage to flame sensor wire and connections.

 

Power Supply

If there is sufficient micro-amp current, but the flame

 

 

will not stay lit, check for proper polarity of the input

 

 

power supply.

 

Ignition Control

If there is sufficient flame sensor current, but the

 

 

burner will not remain ignited, check reset button on

 

 

ignition control, if all above are okay, replace ignition

 

 

control.

Indicator light is on,

Gas Control Relay

Check for 220 VAC to relay coil. If no voltage is

but no main

 

present, trace wiring back to ignition control. If voltage

is present, check to insure contacts are closing.

1457)

Temperature Control

Check for 120 VAC across L1 and L2 on temperature

 

 

control board. If no voltage is present, retrace wiring

 

 

back to power supply. Turn the temperature

 

 

adjustment knob to the maximum temperature

 

 

position and check for 120 VAC at the load terminal to

 

 

neutral. If 120 VAC is not present, proceed as

 

 

follows: If 120 VAC is present and unit is not heating,

 

 

see "Solenoid Valve."

 

Thermocouple Probe

Remove thermocouple leads from the temperature

 

 

control board and measure the millivolt output of these

 

 

leads. Refer to chart in page 25 for proper readings.

 

 

If the thermocouple probe checks good, then the

 

 

problem is usually with the temperature control board.

 

Solenoid Valve

If output voltage is present at temperature control

 

 

board, check for voltage at solenoid valve. If voltage

 

 

is present, listen for valve to open and close. Also

 

 

check for opens, shorts in coil. Replace as needed.

Temperature Control

Check for 120 VAC across L1 and L2 on temperature

but no main flame

 

control board. If no voltage is present, retrace wiring

(1474-1475-1476)

 

back to power supply. Turn the temperature

 

 

adjustment knob to the maximum temperature

 

 

position and check for 220 VAC at the load terminal

 

 

to neutral. If 220 VAC is not present, proceed as

 

 

follows: If 220 VAC is present, and unit is not heating,

 

 

see "Flame Monitor". Check for 220 VAC at terminal

 

 

"COM" on temperature control board. If no voltage is

 

 

present, trace wiring back to ignition control.
