How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Frequent lockouts indicate an unresolved fault. Do not repeatedly reset without diagnosing the cause.
- Record conditions: Note when lockouts occur (windy, cold, after long off periods) to help identify patterns.
- Inspect and clean ignition components: Clean the igniter and flame sensor, check wiring, and ensure proper burner flame as described in other entries.
- Check gas and power stability: Have a professional verify gas pressure and electrical supply stability.
- Replace ignition control board: If all mechanical and supply issues are resolved and lockouts persist, the ignition control module may be faulty and require replacement.
