OBSERVED PROBLEM
When ignitor button is pressed in,
there is no spark at ODS/pilot.
When ignitor button is pressed in,
there is a spark at ODS/pilot but no
ignition.
ODS/pilot lights but flame goes out
when control knob is released.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Ignitor electrode is positioned
wrong.
2. Ignitor electrode is broken.
3. Ignitor electrode is not connected
to ignitor cable.
4. Ignitor cable pinched or wet.
5. Broken ignitor cable.
6. Bad piezo ignitor.
1. Gas supply turned off or
equipment shutoff valve is closed.
2. Control knob not fully pressed in
while pressing ignitor button.
3. Air in gas lines when installed.
4. ODS/pilot is clogged.
5. Gas regulator setting is not correct.
6. Control knob not in PILOT position.
7. Depleted gas supply.
1. Control knob is not fully pressed in.
2. Control knob is not pressed in
long enough.
3. Equipment shutoff valve is not
fully open.
4. Thermocouple connection loose

5 Pilot flame is not touching
thermocouple. This allows
thermocouple to cool, causing pilot
flame to go out.
This problem could be caused
by one or both of the following:
A) Low gas pressure
B) Dirty or partially clogged
ODS/pilot
6. Thermocouple damaged.
7. Control valve damaged.
