Amazing service and knowledge! We have never been happier with any other realtor. She was always there with answers, no matter what the situation was. Paige made us feel very happy with our purchase and we can't wait to work with her again!

Troubleshooting Gas Burners

BURNERS DO NOT LIGHT
Check to see if there is a pilot flame; check the thermocouple position and connection; check the breaker or fuse with an electronic spark ignition.

PILOT FLAME WILL NOT STAY ON
Check that the head of the thermocouple is directly in the flame; replace the faulty electronic starter; replace the thermocouple.

INSUFFICIENT HEAT
Adjust the air intake; clean clogged burner ports.

EXPLODING SOUND AT START UP
Clean the pilot orifice; clean clogged burner ports or crossover.

EXPLODING IN YELLOW OR ORANGE
Adjust the air intake; clean manifold gas jets; clean burners.
