Photocell testing is very difficult without
the use of a lux meter.
It is best to replace the photocell if it is
suspect.
Motor white wire returns 50 - 53 V AC
to control box.
Test solenoid coil for continuity or 100
ohms.
Burners on balanced flue systems can
recirculate flue products causing burner
recycling. If this happens, check flue
position and sealing.
