IntelliFire Ignition System - (continued)
Symptom
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
4. Pilot lights but
continues to spark,
and main burner will
not ignite. (If the pilot
continues to spark after
the pilot flame has been
lit, flame rectification
has not occurred.)
A. A shorted or loose connection in flame
sensing rod.
Verify all connections to wiring diagram in manual. Verify
connections underneath pilot assembly are tight. Verify
connections are not grounding out to metal chassis, pilot
burner, pilot enclosure or screen if present, or any other
metal object.
B. Poor flame rectification or contaminated
flame sensing rod.
With fixed glass assembly in place, verify that flame is
engulfing flame sensing rod on left side of pilot hood. Flame
sensing rod
should glow shortly after ignition. Verify correct
pilot orifice is installed and gas inlet is set to pressure
specifications. Polish flame sensing rod with fine steel wool
to remove any contaminants that may have accumulated on
flame sensing rod.
C. Module is not grounded.
Verify module is securely grounded to metal chassis of
appliance. Verify that wire harness is firmly connected to
the module.
D. Damaged pilot assembly or contami
-
nated flame sensing rod.
Verify that ceramic insulator around the flame sensing
rod is not cracked, damaged, or loose. Verify connection
from flame sensing rod to white sensor wire. Polish flame
sensing rod with fine steel wool to remove any contaminants
that may have accumulated on flame sensing rod. Verify
continuity with a multimeter with ohms set at lowest range.
Replace pilot if any damage is detected.
E. Module.
Turn ON/OFF rocker switch or wall switch to OFF position.
Remove ignitor wire “I” from module. Place ON/OFF rocker
switch or wall switch in ON position. If there is no spark at “I”
terminal module must be replaced. If there is a spark at “I”
terminal, module is fine.
