To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does the pilot light keep going out on my Vermont Castings SNV30?
Frequent pilot outages in your Vermont Castings Stove can be due to a few reasons. The pilot flame might be too low or too high, causing it to drop out. Clean and/or adjust the pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on the thermocouple and thermopile. Also, there might be a blockage in the vent terminal, so check the vent terminal for any obstructions.
How to fix a spark ignitor that won't light on my Vermont Castings SNV30 Stove?
If the spark ignitor on your Vermont Castings Stove won't light, it could be due to a defective or misaligned electrode at the pilot. Try lighting the pilot with a match. If it lights, turn off the pilot and push the ignitor button again. If the pilot still won't light, check the gap at the electrode and pilot; it should be 1/8” to ensure a strong spark. Another possibility is a defective ignitor (push button). Push the piezo ignitor button and check for a spark at the electrode and pilot. If there's no spark at the pilot and the electrode wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor.
