TROUBLESHOOTING (MILLIVOLT)

ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RUN OUT,
TURN OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICAL POWER BEFORE SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT, DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE HAS COOLED.
SYMPTOM
Main burner goes out; pilot
stays on.
Main burner goes out; pilot
goes out.
Pilot goes out when the
gas knob is released.
The gas valve has an
interlock device which
will not allow the pilot
burner to be lit until
the thermocouple
has cooled. Allow
approximately 60
seconds for the
thermocouple to cool.
Pilot burning; no gas to
main burner; gas knob
is on 'HI'; wall switch /
thermostat is on.
Pilot goes out while
standing; Main burner is in
'OFF' position.
Main burner fl ame is a
blue, lazy, transparent
fl ame.
WARNING
!
WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPEN OR REMOVED.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
PROBLEM
Pilot fl ame is not large
enough or not engulfi ng the
thermopile.
Thermopile shorting.
Remote wall switch wire is too
long; too much resistance in
the system.
Faulty thermostat or switch.
Refer to "MAIN BURNER GOES OUT; PILOT STAYS ON"
Vent is blocked
Vent is re-circulating
Flexible vent has become
disconnected from appliance.
System is not correctly purged
Out of propane gas.
Pilot fl ame is not large
enough.
Pilot fl ame is not engulfi ng the
thermocouple
Thermocouple shorting / faulty.
Faulty valve.
Thermostat or switch is
defective
Wall switch wiring is defective.
Main burner orifi ce is plugged.
Faulty valve.
Gas piping is undersized.
Blockage in vent.
TEST SOLUTION
- Turn up the pilot fl ame.
- Replace pilot assembly.
- Clean thermopile connection to the valve. Reconnect.
- Replace thermopile / valve.
- Shorten wire to correct length or wire gauge.
- Replace.
- Check for vent blockage.
- Check joint seals and installation
- Re-attach to appliance.
- Cap was not replaced.
- Purge the gas line.
- Fill the tank.
- Turn up the pilot fl ame.
- Gently twist the pilot head to improve the fl ame pattern
around the thermocouple.
- Loosen and tighten thermocouple.
- Clean thermocouple and valve connection.
- Replace thermocouple.
- Replace valve.
- Replace.
- Connect a jumper wire across the wall switch terminals;
if main burner lights, replace switch / thermostat.
- Disconnect the switch wires & connect a jumper wire
across terminals 1 & 3; if the main burner lights, check
the wires for defects and/or replace wires.
- Remove stoppage in orifi ce.
- Replace.
- Turn on all gas appliances and see if pilot fl ame fl utters,
diminishes or extinguishes, especially when main burner
ignites. Monitor appliance supply working pressure.
- Check if supply piping size is to code. Correct all
undersized piping.
- Remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup
may occur on the terminal and should be removed as
required. To minimize this from happening again, it is
recommended that the vent lengths that pass through
unheated spaces (attics, garages, crawl spaces) be
wrapped with an insulated mylar sleeve. Prevent sleeve
from sagging. Contact your local authorized dealer for
more information.
