8.0 PROBLEM SOLVING AUTO REIGNITION (USA Model)
8.1 Gas Doesn't Light - No Spark
Check source of mains supply.
Check spark gap is not too wide (burners sitting correctly).
Check electrodes/burners are clean (use rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush).
Check continuity from the box to the electrode and from the burner or earthing point to the earth
connection on the box.
Check the high tension leads are not coiled, as this may result in a loss of voltage to the electrode.
(Use correct length leads and locate in correct position.)
Check for damage to the wire insulation and that the leads are not against parts that will heat up
during operation.
8.2 Gas Doesn't Light - Spark but no Ignition
Check the cooktop and regulator are set up for the correct gas type and pressure (factory set for
NG).
Check location of ignitors and make sure spark gap is not too wide.
Check the burner components including the burner cap are sitting correctly.
Check electrodes/burners are clean (use rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush).
Check the high tensions leads have not been coiled, as this may result in a loss of voltage and a spark
of insufficient energy to ignite the gas. (Use correct length leads and locate in correct position.)
8.3 Sparking Continuously after Ignition
Check the polarity of the electrical supply is correct to the ignition box (incorrect polarity will cause a
problem.)
Check electrodes are clean (use rubbing alcohol and an old toothbrush).
Check the cooktop is correctly earthed (lack of earthing will cause a problem).
Check the cooktop and regulator are set up for the correct gas type and pressure (factory set for
NG). Check the correct jets are used for each burner.
8.3.1 Determine the Problem Burners
1. Turn all the burners off.
2. Turn on one burner at a time to check which are OK and which continue sparking after
ignition. With each you should check the high position, the low position and the behaviour with
a large pot, before turning it off and moving on to the next burner.
