Possible Causes

Weak ignition spark, marginal gas pressure, partially blocked burner, failing gas valve coil

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ignition issues involve gas; only qualified personnel should adjust gas components.

  • Observe sequence: Listen for fan, then ignition clicks. If clicks are weak or absent, the ignition electrode or cable may be faulty.
  • Check condensate and flue: Ensure condensate trap and flue are clear to allow proper combustion air flow.
  • Technician diagnostics: A professional should check ignition voltage, electrode condition, burner cleanliness, and gas valve operation, and then perform combustion analysis.
