13.0TROUBLE SHOOTING

!WARNING

ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RAN OUT,

WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN OR REMOVED.

TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.

SYMPTOM

PROBLEM

TEST SOLUTION

Pilot will not light.

Makes noise with no spark at pilot burner.

IGNITOR (SPARK)

SENSOR SYMPTOMPROBLEMTEST SOLUTION

PILOT TUBE

Wiring.

- Verify the wire for the sensor and the wire for the

 

ignitor are connected to the correct terminals (not

 

reversed) on the module. NOTE: Sensor has 3/16”

 

connection and ignitor has 1/8” connection.

Loose connection.

- Verify no loose connections, electrical shorts in the

 

wiring or ground out to any metal object.

Module.

- Turn the ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position.

 

Remove the igniter wire from the module. Place

 

the ON/OFF switch to the “ON” position. Hold a

 

grounded wire about 3/16” away from the ignitor

 

(spark) terminal on the module. If no spark the

 

ignitor terminal module must be replaced. If there

 

is a spark the ignitor terminal is fine. Inspect pilot

 

assembly for a shorted wire or cracked insulator

 

around the electrode.

 

Igniter Spark gap is

- Spark gap of the ignitor to the pilot should be 1/8”.

 

incorrect.

 

 

 

 

Transformer.

- Verify the transformer is installed and plugged into

 

 

 

 

the module. Check voltage of the transformer under

 

 

 

 

load at the spade connections on the module with

 

 

 

 

the ON/OFF switch in the “ON” position. Acceptable

 

 

 

 

readings of a good transformer are between 6.2 and

 

 

 

 

7.0 volts A.C.

 

Battery backup

-

Check batteries.

 

A shorted or loose

- Remove and reinstall the wiring harness that plugs

 

Connection.

 

into the module. Remove and verify continuity of

 

 

 

 

each wire in wiring harness.

 

Improper switch wiring.

- Troubleshoot the system with the simplest ON/OFF

 

 

 

 

switch.

 

Module is not grounded.

- Verify the value and pilot assemblies are properly

 

 

 

 

grounded to the metal chassis of the appliance or

 

 

 

 

log set.

Pilot sparks but

Gas supply.

- Verify that the incoming gas line ball valve is

will not light.

 

 

 

“Open”. Verify that the inlet pressure reading is

 

 

 

 

within acceptable limits, inlet pressures must not

 

 

 

 

exceed 14” W.C.

 

Out of propane gas.

-

Fill the tank.
