Possible Causes

Weak igniter, Dirty flame sensor, Gas valve not opening, Air in gas line after service

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off gas and power before removing burner or ignition components.

  • Observe through sight glass: Call for heat and watch for igniter glow or spark. If there is no glow/spark, the igniter or control board may be faulty.
  • Clean igniter/flame sensor: Gently clean the igniter and flame sensor surfaces with fine emery cloth and reinstall.
  • Gas supply check: Ensure the gas shutoff valve is fully open. If gas service was recently interrupted, there may be air in the line; a technician should safely purge and test.
  • Professional diagnosis: If the fan runs but there is no ignition and no code, a technician should test the gas valve and control outputs.
