How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Only a qualified gas technician should work on burner and gas components.

  • Clean burner: Remove and clean the burner and injectors to remove dust, rust, or debris that can cause poor flame stability.
  • Inspect ionization electrode: Clean or replace the electrode and ensure correct positioning in the flame.
  • Flue inspection: Verify that the flue system is intact and not causing downdrafts or recirculation that could extinguish the flame.
