How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas before servicing ignition components.
- Step 1 – Inspect and test ignitor: Remove the ignitor and visually inspect for cracks. Measure resistance with a multimeter; an open circuit indicates failure. Replace with the correct Ducane-rated ignitor.
- Step 2 – Check harness connections: Ensure the ignitor plug is fully seated on the board and not heat-damaged.
- Step 3 – Clean flame sensor: As described earlier, clean the flame sensor rod to ensure reliable flame detection.
- Step 4 – Reset lockout: Restore power and gas, then cycle thermostat to clear lockout. If code 14 returns, professional diagnosis of gas valve and board is required.
