FAQs

What is the purpose of the spark generator?

The spark generator creates a spark to ignite the pilot burner, which in turn ignites the main burner of your heating system.

How do I know if the spark generator is faulty?

If your heating system fails to ignite or the pilot light doesn't stay lit, the spark generator might be faulty. However, other components could also cause these issues.

Can I replace the spark generator myself?

Replacement should be done by a qualified technician to ensure safety and proper functionality.

Where can I find the GC number?

The GC number (H07-731) is printed on the part itself and is used to identify the component.

What is the electronic control board?

The electronic control board is the system's brain and controls various functions, including the spark generator.

Troubleshooting

System fails to ignite.

Check the spark generator for proper function. If it's not sparking, the generator may need replacement.

Pilot light won't stay lit.

Check the flame sensor and the spark generator. The generator may not be providing a consistent spark.
