How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Gas repairs must follow local regulations. Turn off gas and power before disassembly.
- Visual flame check: When lit, the flame should be stable and blue. Yellow or lifting flames indicate combustion issues; have gas pressure and injector size checked by a technician.
- Clean sensor: Gently clean the flame sensor/electrode with fine abrasive pad to remove oxidation.
- Check positioning: Ensure the sensor tip is properly in the flame envelope and the burner is correctly seated.
- Wiring and module: Inspect wiring to the flame detection circuit. If E051 persists, the ignition/flame module or control board may need replacement by a professional.
