SERVICE PROCEDURE D24-III
Main Burner Operation Testing
CAUTION
Be Careful When Making Voltage
Measurements or Jumping Terminals
Not to Damage or Deform Connectors or
Connector Pins.
DANGER

Condition:
Main burner will not light,
Display shows “Heating” under temperature
setpoint.
Tank is cold.
I
s Pilot lit?
See “Pilot Will Not
Light”
Does control board continue to spark with
pilot lit?
See “Pilot Lights, No Flame
Signal”
Insert meter probes into back of
“Control” plug on control board to contact
pins for measuring voltage.
Is there 22-27 volts AC across
pin terminals 5 & 8? (Refer to wiring
diagram also see photo 14)
Disconnect brown wire lead from
“MV” terminal of gas valve.
Is there 22-27 volts AC across
brown wire lead & ground?
(see photo 15)
Replace control board.
Be sure control display is showing “Heating”,
pilot is lit and control is not sparking.
Recheck voltage across control board
pin terminals 5 & 8 (MV & MV/PV)
