Standing Pilot Ignition

 

SYMPTOM

poSSIBLE CAUSE

ACTION

 

 

 

 

1.

Spark ignitor will

A. Wire disconnected.

A. Open door and check to make sure wire is connected to

 

not light pilot after

 

ignitor.

 

repeated triggering of

B. Defective ignitor.

B. Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark and

 

piezo.

 

electrode wire is properly connected, replace pilot

 

 

 

assembly.

 

 

C. No gas or low gas pres-

C. Check remote/manual shut off valve from fireplace. Low

 

 

sure.

pressure can be caused by bent lines, restricted lines,

 

 

 

low pressure line pressure. Consult with plumber or gas

 

 

 

supplier.

 

 

D. No Propane/LPG in tank

D. Check Propane/LPG tank. Refill tank.

 

 

 

2. Pilot will not stay lit

A. Defective thermocouple

A. Check that thermocouple flame impinges on thermo-

 

after carefully follow-

 

couple. Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame

 

ing lighting instruc-

 

impingement. Ensure that the thermocouple connection

 

tions.

 

at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight.

 

 

 

Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one

 

 

 

millivolt lead wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the

 

 

 

other meter lead wire on the thermocouple copper lead.

 

 

 

Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt

 

 

 

reading is less than 15 mV, replace pilot assembly.

 

 

 

B. If thermocouple is producing more than 15 mV, replace

 

 

B. Defective valve

faulty valve.

 

 

 

 

3.

Pilot burning, valve

 

A. Check switch and wire for proper connection. Place

A. Defective switch, wall

jumper wires across terminals of switch. If burner comes

 

knob turned to “ON”,

switch, remote control or

on, replace defective switch.If the switch is OK, repeat

 

switch is turned to

wire

the same procedure on remote control If burner comes

 

“ON” or “RS”, but

 

on, replace remote control.

 

burner will not ignite.

 

Place jumper wire across wire at gas valves (terminals

 

 

 

marked TH and TP/TH). If burner comes on, wires are

 

 

 

faulty or connections are bad. Replace wire.

 

 

 

B. If pilot flame is not close enough to the thermopile, adjust

 

 

B. Pilot flame too small

pilot flame.

 

 

 

C. Check thermopile wire connections to make sure all

 

 

C. Defective or malfunction-

are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into

 

 

ing thermopile

pilot assembly. Check thermopile with a millivolt meter.

 

 

 

Connect leads to TP and TP/TH terminals on the control

 

 

 

valve. If meter reading is below 325 mV, replace pilot

 

 

 

assembly.

 

 

 

D. Turn valve knob to “On” and switch to “ON.” Take a read-

 

 

D. Defective valve

ing at the thermopile leads (TP & TP/TH) on the valve.

 

 

 

If the meter reads greater than 175 mV and the burner

does not light, replace defective valve.
