CHECK IGNITION CABLE
1. Assure that ignition cable is not in contact with
metal surfaces.
2. Assure that ignition cable is not more than
3 feet [1 m] long.
3. Assure connections to the ignition module stud
terminal and the igniter-sensor are clean and tight.
4. Check electrical continuity of ignition cable.
CHECK GROUNDING
1. If ground is poor or erratic, safety shutdown will
occur. Therefore, if nuisance shutdowns are reported,
check the ground precautions in Wire Igniter-Sensor
section.
2. If leadwire is damaged or deteriorated, use
no. 14 to 18 gauge, moisture-resistant, thermoplastic,
insulated wire with 221
°
F [105
°
C] minimum rating as
replacement.
3. Excessive temperature at the ceramic flame rod
insulator will permit electrical leakage to ground.
a. If bracket is bent, bend it back to correct
position.
b. If insulator is cracked, replace pilot burner/
igniter-sensor.
TEST SAFETY LOCKOUT
Refer to appliance manufacturer instructions to test
for proper safety lockout times.
