Possible Causes

Thermostat not actually calling for heat, Gas valve manual shutoff closed, Ignition cable disconnected, Flame sensor wiring loose

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and gas before internal inspection.

  • Confirm call for heat: Check that the IVT control indicates a heat demand (heating symbol or status message).
  • Verify gas valve position: Ensure the manual gas cock is open.
  • Inspect ignition and sensor leads: Check that the high-voltage ignition cable and flame sensor wire are firmly connected to the ignition transformer/module and electrodes.
  • Observe ignition sequence: Through the sight glass, watch for spark and gas flow. If there is no spark, the ignition module or transformer may be faulty.
