PRE-TROUBLESHOOTING
Before any extensive trouble-shooting, perform the following:
Ensure That:
Voltage (120 vac) is supplied to the appliance.
System control (tank temperature control, thermostat, etc.) is calling
for appliance operation (call for heat).
Other contacts (switches) are closed (relay, low water cutoff, flow
switch, coil protector, pressure switch, etc.).
Gas supply pressure is within the maximum and minimum operating
ranges listed on the appliance rating plate/label.
Voltage (24 vac) is supplied by transformer.
Appliance is wired according to wiring diagram.
Note: Cross wiring the 24 volt circuit of the relay will short the transformer.
All wire terminals/connectors are firmly attached to valves, modules,
switches, limit controls, etc.
For LP models only check for possible lockout condition of the ignition
module.
