Jim, Just to be clear. I did hear the ignitor snapping/pulsing with the ignitor plugged in and also with it unplugged. On the last part of your last post when you said (If you have 0 ohms on the igniter wire to the electrode and the screw that retains the cerramic tip is tight, and do not hear the snapping then the wire has a short somewhere there at the screw.) Is the snapping you are talking about at the electrode(spark)? Not pulsing at the ignitor. Thanks
You say that you hear the NOISE both with the electrode wire connected and the electrode is screwed tight and in position but you see no spark and you hear the NOISE with the electrode wire disconnected from the igniter.....
Are the sounds different or the same? Arc is a snap , not sure what the pulsing is you're talking about.
Do the ohms measurement. Disconnect the Electrode wire and measure the resistance from the connector to the electrode tip... Should show 0 ohms.
Then measure the resistance from the electrode wire, still disconnected, to the little tab that the screw holds the electrode ceramic to the burner frame . Make sure the screw is holding the tab tightly to the burner frame. You should see no connection thus no meter reading.
We know that the control board is working because you said that you saw 12vdc on the Solenoid.... I THINK you said you can hear the solenoid click on. It should stay on and then click off after about 3 seconds.
Jim.
