Hello and . We are glad to have you join us here and we look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. I am sure you will enjoy the website and forums. Good luck, stay safe and keep us posted.
Try disconnecting the connector from the control board and reconnecting to insure good connection. Measure for 12 vdc or better at the gas valve, when the unit is trying to ignite. If you have voltage, you could tap on the valve the next time the unit is sparking across the electrode to burner. Let us know what you find.
