How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power and gas before accessing the burner compartment.
- Check ignitor: Visually inspect the hot surface ignitor for cracks or breaks. Replace if damaged.
- Observe glow: With panels in place, restore power and call for heat. If the ignitor never glows, the ignitor or control board may be faulty.
- Gas supply: Confirm the manual gas shutoff valve is open and other gas appliances work.
- Professional testing: A technician should measure voltage to the ignitor and gas valve during the ignition sequence and replace the failed component.
