• Loose connection of the thermocouple lead to the safety control.
• Burned out thermocouple.
• Broken safety control.
To remedy the problem, first check to see that the thermocouple lead is properly tightened in to the safety control head.
1) Check all safeties (figure 1).
2) using a
3
/
8
” wrench, ensure the thermocouple lead is properly tightened in to the body of the saftey control,
a ¼ turn after finger tight will ensure a proper connection (figure 1).
overtightening will damage the control.
Check that the lead tip is not corroded, clean it if necessary with emory cloth.
3) Light the pilot burner. If the pilot burner stays lit, then the problem was a loose connection at the thermocouple.
