Remove the outside lower vent cover
Remove the burner box cover
Turn thermostat setting up to 5
Select 'gas'
Have someone push/hold gas valve safety button in
Then have them push the igniter button several times.quickly
Do you see/hear spark?
No spark.....stop and wait 5 minutes then repeat except using a BBQ lighter light main flame
Does main flame light?
If main flame lights then problem is just with igniter.
Igniter gap between tip and burner should be 1/8"-3'16"
Too close/too far no spark.
Still no spark.....
Replace piezo igniter
