Soot buildup on coils not allowing heat transferClean coils.
Flow & burner switch on: no spark, no pilot gasA. No main powerWith power switch on, open trigger on spray gun and set your test meter to the 24 volt scale. Probe terminals 24V and 24V(GND). If you do not read 24 volts, the problem is not the ignition system. Perform normal system checks of main power, transformer, thermostat and the limit control. If you do read 24 volts at TH and GND, the problem is in the ignition system. Check for loose or defective wiring. If wiring is good, replace the ignition control unit.
B. Faulty transformer
C. Faulty burner & flow switch
D. Faulty ignition control unit
Have spark, no pilot gas flowMain gas supply turned offSet test meter to 24 volt scale.
1. Be sure main gas valve (gas cock or selector arm) is turned on.
2. With gas on and system sparking, probe terminals PV and 24V(GND). If pilot gas does not flow with 24 volts at these terminals, replace gas valve.
3. Probe terminals PV and MV/PV. If 24 volts not present, replace ignition control box.
Have pilot gas, no sparkA. Defective ignitor/ sensor and or its wiringSet test meter to ohm scale.
1. Disconnect the wire from the IGN terminal on the ignition control unit.
B. Faulty ignition control unit2. Touch one meter probe to the tip of the ignitor/ sensor rod in the pilot. Touch the other probe to the quick connect at the other end of ignitor/ sensor wire.
3. If you have continuity from the tip of the ignitor/ sensor rod to the connector and no spark, replace the ignition control unit.
4. If you do not have continuity through wire and the ignitor/sensor, check for a loose wire connection in the wire. Repair as needed.
5. Check if spark shorts to burner ring through a cut in the ignitor wire.
