test solution
-
Lift door from its hinges. Lubricate with high temp dry
graphite only. Replace.
-
NOTE: Due to the high temperatures that the hinges
experience, wet lubricants such as oil and WD40 will
cause the hinge to seize and are therefore not suitable.
-
Loosen and tighten thermocouple.
-
Clean thermocouple and valve connection.
-
Replace thermocouple.
-
Test with spill switch bypassed.
-
Check for vent blockage.
-
Check joint seals and installation.
-
Remove blockage. In really cold conditions, ice buildup
may occur on the terminal and should be removed as
required.
-
Ensure vent confi guration is within prescribed venting
parameters
