TROUBLE-

SHOOTING

Continued

ODS/pilot lights but
flame goes out when
control knob is
released.

POSSIBLE
CAUSE

1. Gas supply turned off or

manual shutoff valve
closed.

2. Control knob not pressed

in while being turned to
PILOT/IGN position
(non-thermostat models
only).
Thermostat control knob
not pressed in (thermostat
models only).

3. Air in gas lines when

installed.

4. Depleted gas supply

5. ODS/pilot is clogged.

6. Gas regulator setting is

not correct.

7. Thermostat control knob

is not in pilot position
(thermostat models only).

1. Control knob not fully

pressed in.

2. Control knob not pressed

in long enough.

3. Manual shutoff valve not

fully open.

4. Thermocouple connection

loose at control valve.

5. Pilot flame not touching

thermocouple, which
allows thermocouple to
cool, causing pilot flame
to go out. This problem
could be caused by one or
both of the following:
A) Low gas pressure
B) Dirty or partially
clogged ODS/pilot

6. Thermocouple damaged.
7. Control valve damaged.
8. Safety interlock system
