To fix no arc or an arc less than 1/8 inch (3mm) during a spark ignition check, first check the external fuse, if one is provided. Then, verify the power at the module input terminal. If the fuse and power are okay, replace the module.
What to do if the flame sensor current is unsteady in Empire FAW-55IP Furnace?
If the flame sensor current is less than the minimum or unsteady, ensure the pilot flame covers 3/8 (9.5mm) to 1/2 inch (13mm) of the flame rod. If needed, adjust the pilot flame by turning the pilot adjustment screw on the gas control clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase the pilot flame. Also, check for a cracked ceramic insulator, which can cause a short to ground, and replace the igniter-sensor if necessary. Finally, ensure all electrical connections are clean and tight, replacing any damaged wire with moisture-resistant No. 18 wire rated for continuous duty up to 105 C (221 F).
Why does my Empire FAW-55IP have nuisance shutdowns?
Nuisance shutdowns in your Empire Furnace can occur due to a poor or erratic ground. The module and the pilot burner/igniter sensor require a common ground, usually supplied by the pilot burner bracket.
