12.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM PROBLEM TEST SOLUTION
Electrode sparks,
burner ignites,
electrode continues
to spark for complete
7 seconds, burner
shuts down. Hot and neutral wires
are reversed at control
module. - Connect the hot wire to the black wire. Connect the
neutral wire to the white wire.
Sensor / fl ame not
connecting - Raise electrode / sensor up into fl ame.
Main burner fl ame
is a blue, lazy,
transparent fl ame. Blockage in vent. - Remove blockage. In extremely cold conditions,
ice buildup may occur on the terminal and should
be removed as required. To minimize this from
happening again, it is recommended that the vent
lengths that pass through unheated spaces (attics,
garages, crawl spaces) be wrapped with an insulated
mylar sleeve. Prevent sleeve from sagging. Contact
your local authorized dealer for more information.
Flame length
consistently too
large or too small.
Carboning occurs. Unit is over-fi red or
under-fi red. - Check pressure readings
- Outlet pressure can be checked by removing cap (A)
and replacing it with a 1/8” NPT barb fi tting. Next, place
pressure gauge tubing over the fi tting. Gauge should read
3.5” W.C. for natural gas or 10.0” W.C. for propane. AFTER
TAKING PRESSURE READINGS, BE SURE TO REPLACE
CAP TO RESEAL. DO NOT OVER-TORQUE.
- Leak test with a soap and water solution.
Carbon is being
deposited on glass,
logs or combustion
chamber surfaces. Air shutter has
become blocked. - Ensure air shutter opening is free of lint or other
obstructions.
Flame is impinging
on the combustion
chamber. - Open air shutter to increase the primary air.
- Check the input rate: check the manifold pressure and
orifi ce size as specifi ed by the rating plate values.
- Check that the door gasketing is not broken or missing and
that the seal is tight.
- Check that both 3” and 5” vent liners are free of holes and
well sealed at all joints.
- Check that the minimum rise per foot has been adhered to
for any horizontal venting.
White / grey fi lm
forms. Sulphur from fuel
is being deposited
on glass, logs or
combustion chamber
surfaces. - Clean the glass with a gas fi replace glass cleaner.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT. If deposits
are not cleaned off regularly, the glass may become
permanently marked.
Exhaust fumes
smelled in room,
headaches. Fireplace is spilling. - Check door seal.
- Check pressure relief device.
- Check for chimney blockage.
- Ensure that the paint curing process is complete.
