Possible Causes
Open coil on Kripsol gas valve, Loose gas valve wiring, Faulty gas valve driver on control board, Safety interlock preventing valve energization
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off gas and power. Gas valve testing should only be done by qualified personnel; incorrect handling can cause leaks or fire.
- Visual inspection: Check the Kripsol gas valve body and wiring harness for damage, corrosion, or loose connectors.
- Coil resistance: With power off and wires disconnected, measure resistance across the gas valve coil terminals. Compare to Kripsol specifications. An open or shorted coil requires valve replacement.
- Check interlocks: Ensure all safety switches (flow, pressure, high limit, air pressure) are closed and not generating other errors, as the control will not energize the valve if safeties are open.
- Board output: If the coil is good but never receives voltage during ignition, the control board’s gas valve output may be defective and require replacement.
- Professional service: Replacement of the Kripsol gas valve and gas leak testing must be performed by a licensed gas technician.
