Igniter, Electrode Testing and Replacement
Step 1. Remove the outer jacket door.
Step 2. Repeatedly depress the igniter button while viewing the pilot through the flame viewing
window. If a spark is present, the circuit is O.K.. If there is no spark, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3. Remove the white (or orange) wire from
the gas control’s
igniter wire. Hold the igniter
lead from the gas control to an unpainted surface such as the feedline and depress the
igniter. If there is a spark, the igniter is O.K.. Otherwise, the igniter is not functioning and
the pilot assembly must be replaced. See Service Procedure VI.
Step 4a. For White Rodgers Mechanical: to replace the igniter, disconnect the white (orange)
wire from the igniter. Use a flat-head screwdriver under the igniter and gently pry
bracket from the front of the gas calce and unhook the bracket from rear of the gas
valve.
Step 4b. For Honeywell: to replace the igniter, see the Honeywell ONLY information in Service
Procedure IV.
