Motor white wire returns 50 - 53 V AC
to control box.
Test solenoid coil for continuity or 100
ohms.
Test photocell by disconnecting it in
control box. If burner fires and then
goes to lockout, photocell should be
replaced.
It is best to replace the photocell if it is
suspect.
Burners on balanced flue systems can
recirculate flue products causing
burner recycling. If this happens,
check flue position and sealing.
