present or open contact is indicated, replace  

 

 

 

 

 

the thermostat.  If voltage is present or 

 

 

 

 

 

the contact is closed, check for broken 

 

 

 

 

 

wiring between the thermostat and ignitor. 

 

 

3B.   Defective ignitor. 

3 B.  Check  the ignitor for continuity, if no 

 

 

 

 

 

continuity is indicated or if the ignitor does 

 

 

 

 

 

not glow when tested, replace the ignitor. 

 

 

 

 

 

If the ignitor glows when tested or indicated 

 

 

 

 

 

continuity, check for broken wiring  

 

 

 

 

 

between the ignitor and gas valve.  Proceed  

 

 

  

 to 

3C. 

  3C.  Open heater 

3 C.  Check the gas valve heater coil  for continuity 

If the heater coil is open, replace the gas valve. 
 If continuity is  

   

 

 

indicated, check for broken wiring between the 
gas valve and thermostat.      

  

  4.  No gas flow to the burner 

4A.  Defective ignitor 

4 A.  Check the ignitor current draw.  If less 

   

ignitor glows red. 

 

 

 

than 3.2 amps, replace the ignitor. 

   

a)  Intermittant burner flame 

4B.  Gas pressure too low
