troubleshooting (millivolt)
- Check if pilot can be lit by a match.
- Check that the wire is connected to the push button ignitor.
- Check if the push button ignitor needs tightening.
- Replace the wire if the wire insulation is broken or frayed.
- Replace the electrode if the ceramic insulator is cracked or broken.
- Replace the push button ignitor
- Fill the tank.
- Spark gap should be 0.150" (3.8mm) to 0.175" (4.5mm) from the electrode tip
and the pilot burner. To ensure proper electrode location, tighten securing nut
(fi nger tight plus 1/4 turn).
- Check that the manual valve is turned on.
- Check the pilot orifi ce for blockage.
- Replace the valve.
- Call the gas distributor.
- Purge the gas line.
- Fill the tank.
- Turn up the pilot fl ame.
- Gently twist the pilot head to improve the fl ame pattern around the
thermocouple.
- Loosen and tighten thermocouple.
- Clean thermocouple and valve connection.
- Replace thermocouple.
- Replace valve.
- Replace.
- Connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals; if main burner lights,
replace switch / thermostat.
- Disconnect the switch wires & connect a jumper wire across terminals 1 & 3; if
the main burner lights, check the wires for defects and/or replace wires.
- Remove stoppage in orifi ce.
- Replace.
- Turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot fl ame fl utters, diminishes or
extinguishes, especially when main burner ignites. Monitor appliance supply
working pressure.
- Check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all undersized piping.
- Ensure the mechanical means of securing the door is providing a tight seal.
- Check to ensure venting is properly sealed.
- If restriction is required see "restricting vertical vents" section.
- Reverse.
- Replace.
- Check for ground (short); repair ground or replace wire.
- Replace.
