Presidential II 7655-856 Burner Will Not Ignite

[sherrien59]

My Presidential II 7655-856 worked fine this past Spring. Since it is starting to get cool at night, I decided to fire the heater up. I lit the pilot light and it stays lit. However, the burner will not ignite. From the postings on this site, I figured out that I should start my troubleshooting with the transformer. I have ordered the part from you guys. Is there anything else I should be checking?

Hi,

Did you test the transformer to see if it was bad before ordering ?

Did you test to see if you were getting 24 VAC to the gas valve wire connections ?


Have you checked the gas valve to burner orifice, small brass fitting at back of gas valve with small hole in center) ?

Turn the gas valve and gas pressure OFF to check it, it may be clogged with spider/web.


If unsure about any of this or uncomfortable, please call a Tech to look at it. Gas is not very forgiving.


Take care and best wishes,
Robert

I hooked up the new transformer that I ordered from you guys. The burner ignited and the fan kicked on and now I have a toasty-warm mobile home again.

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your website, Forum, Store and your assistance. I would much rather troubleshoot something myself and do what I can before having to pay someone to do something I'm not able or qualified to. Thanks.

Thanks for ordering and the kind words.
