Why won't the pilot light ignite on my Market Forge Industries Boiler?
- HHeather FosterAug 19, 2025
The pilot light may fail to ignite or hold due to several reasons. First, ensure gas is reaching the unit and the gas line is purged of air. Check that the main gas cock knob is in the ON position. An air pocket or clog in the gas line could also be the culprit; purge or blow out the gas line to resolve this. Defective wiring or poor connections at the pilots at the power unit can also prevent ignition; check, replace, or tighten these connections. Additionally, defective switching across either the water level control or pressure switches could be the cause; make a continuity check and replace any defective units. Finally, a defective gas valve may be the reason; in this case, replace the gas valve.
