Went out a minute ago, and it was blowing cold finally.
The board light was green (power), which means it didn't ignite. I did notice that a couple times this morning it wouldn;t light on the first try.
Normal sequence appears to be:
Thermostat trips, sends power to relay and board. Light turns green indicating power. 15 seconds or so later the the board opens the valve (light turns red), ignitor fires a few times. If burner lights, the light stays red. Or it will close the valve and light will turn back to green. Then will retry to light (change light to red, ignitor fires, etc).
I;ve read that the regular board will try 3 times then stop, continuing the blower.
So, either the ignitor is getting weak, or I need to adjust it? Or maybe propane flow is limited when cold, also making it hard to light?
