How do you light the pilot on an octopus furnace?
How do I light pilot light on furnace
What if the pilot on your teledyne laars epg 250 pool heater will not stay lit and you have just replaced the pilot generator?
Check that you are getting voltage from the thermocouple. You should see about 600 millivolts.
Is the pilot light bad when it produces 200mv at the maximum temperature setting but won't start the burners on a Teledyne pool heater?
I was told by Teledyne Laars that your pilot generator needs to produce at least 500mv to open the gas valve. Mine makes 350mv and will not open the valve. Hmm, I think that should be nearer to 600 mv - 700 mv.
Why would a Teledyne Laars heater thermostat allow you to light pilot light but not allow you to turn it on?
Have you rotated the gas valve knob to "run". Have you turned up the thermostat? Is the pump running? No pump water flow - no heat -- no filtration. Is the filter clean? When was the last time you cleaned the filter? Ken
How can you get the pilot light on a teledyne pool heater to start if you have pressed pilot and the red button?
sit on it then throw it into a creepy cave
Is the thermocoupler bad if a Teledyne Laars series 1 EPG 250 pool heater pilot light ignites and burns high but does not light the burners?
It could be it. The pilot generator may be weak. The Valve could be defective. The High limit or other safties could also be defective. Could be corrosion on the connection. could be a water flow broblem. could be a weak flame
Where is the thermocople located on the furnace?
At pilot light, pilot light flows around thermocouple.
Does the Trane XE70 furnace have a pilot light?
No standing pilot, it is a spark ignition unit
What should you do if the pilot light won't stay lit on a Teledyne Laars pool heater and the pilot generator registers up 500 MV?
From what I have read, 500mV is not enough to keep the pilot light lit. Here is what I read on a different site: "You can check if this is the problem by measuring the voltage on the wires coming back from the pilot. When you have the red switch depressed, check the voltage (should be about 200mV). If there's no voltage, then change the thermocouple. The thermocouple will generate up to 750mV in a pilot flame. If it falls below 550mV it should kill the fuel source." Hope this helps.
Why does the pilot light in your furnace go out?
Defective thermocouple or possibly a dirty or clogged pilot orifice.
What causes the pilot light to keep burning out in a furnace?
If this is happening you need to get your furnace serviced by a qualified engineer.
How many btu in a interthermfurnace pilot light?
There are 55,000 BTU in an intertherm furnace pilot light. It is a way of heating up a place.
