After fuel valve opens,
does the burner ignite?
For the GMC, measure gas
supply pressure at inlet to
gas valve. Is it at least 4.5"
W.G. for natural gas or 11"
W.G. for L.P. gases? For
the OMC, is oil present in
the fuel line at the valve?
Check the fuel supply.
Open all manual shutoff
valves serving the unit.
Purge any air in the
fuel line.
No No
Are the ignition electrodes
positioned correctly?
No
Reposition to
correct location.
Check for blocked or severely
worn burner nozzle (OMC) or
burner orifice (GMC). Clean
or replace as required.
Does the burner stay
lit past proof of flame
check?
On the GMC, measure supply &
manifold pressures. Are they
constant over time and within the
allowable ranges? On the OMC,
is the oil tank full of fuel? Is the
fuel clean without contaminates?
Is the fuel filter dirty?
Does the fan timer
energize the circulating
air blower after the 56
second time delay?
Check settings on fan
timer against those
on connection
diagram. Is blower
still inoperable
after time delay
with fan timer
set correctly?
Measure voltage
on the circulating
air blower terminals.
Is it 120 VAC?
On the GMC, adjust supply
pressure to 4.5" W.G. for
natural & 11" W.G. for LP gases.
Adjust manifold pressure to 3.5"
W.G. for natural gas or 10" W.G.
for LP gases. If gas pressure
fluctuates, a pressure regulator
may be required or gas piping
may be too small for flow. On the
OMC, add or replace fuel and fuel
filter. Also, check flame sensor (GMC),
cad cell (OMC) for proper operation.
Check wiring to
blower. If okay,
set fan selector
switch to manual.
If fan operates,
replace fan timer.
