How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power and gas before accessing ignition components.

  • Inspect and reseat the ignition electrode cable and connector.
  • Check the electrode for correct gap and cleanliness.
  • Observe through the sight glass (if fitted) whether a spark is present during start-up.
  • If the fan runs but there is no spark or gas valve click, the ignition transformer or control board may be failing and should be tested by a technician.
