The pilot light on a Teledyne Laars furnace is typically located near the burner assembly, often at the bottom of the unit. To access it, you may need to remove a protective cover or panel. Once located, the pilot light can usually be lit using a match or lighter after turning the gas control valve to the "pilot" position. Always refer to the specific model’s manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.
Possible reasons why a Teledyne Laars Phase 2 pool heater may not ignite include issues with the pilot light, gas supply, or faulty igniter. Check if the pilot light is lit, ensure there is proper gas supply to the heater, and inspect the igniter for any signs of damage or malfunction. Additionally, check for any error codes on the heater display panel that may provide further information on the issue.
How do I light pilot light on furnace
Check that you are getting voltage from the thermocouple. You should see about 600 millivolts.
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.
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

The furnace pilot light may not light up due to issues with the gas supply, a faulty thermocouple, a dirty pilot light, or a malfunctioning ignition system. It is important to troubleshoot and address these potential issues to get the pilot light to light up and the furnace to function properly.
Not all furnaces have pilot lights. Modern furnaces often use electronic ignition systems instead. Check your furnace's manual or contact a professional to determine if your furnace has a pilot light.
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
At pilot light, pilot light flows around thermocouple.
If the pilot light goes out on a furnace, the furnace will not be able to ignite and produce heat. To relight the pilot light, you can follow the manufacturer's instructions provided in the furnace manual. Typically, this involves turning off the gas supply, waiting for the gas to dissipate, and then using a long lighter or match to relight the pilot light.
The furnace pilot light may not be working due to issues such as a clogged pilot orifice, a faulty thermocouple, or a gas supply problem. It is important to troubleshoot and address these issues promptly to ensure the furnace functions properly.
