Possible Causes

Weak Kripsol igniter not reaching proper temperature, Loose igniter wiring, Gas valve not opening despite control signal, Air in gas line after long shutdown

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and gas before opening the burner compartment. Avoid repeated ignition attempts.

  • Listen for gas valve click: During a start attempt, you should hear the Kripsol gas valve click. If not, the valve or control output may be faulty.
  • Inspect igniter: Remove and visually inspect the Kripsol ignition electrode or hot surface igniter. Replace if cracked, heavily oxidized, or out of specification.
  • Check wiring: Ensure all connectors to the igniter and gas valve are tight and free of corrosion.
  • Bleed air (by professional): If the gas line has been off for a long time, a technician may need to purge air from the line.
