My first time ever touching a heater, so here goes. Over at my dad's house -  turning on the heat at the thermostat will cause a flame at the pilot - lasts a few seconds at best, then goes out. (Unknowingly I was doing a good thing by occasionally un/re-plugging it. As I've learned here, that resets the Igniter/lockout) One time in ten it went all the way to igniting the burners for about 10 seconds but then it all went out. I increased the pilot gas flow but it still wouldn't hold. I've also un/re-plugged all the electrical wires, except for the high voltage one. Does it even have a flame sensor?


Some part stats: Igniter/Lockout = H86WZ512A - not too sure about the 'H86' part but it looks like your IGM33WZ512. Pilot assembly looks like your 3 wire PIL680005A + PIL680512.

What should I try next - now that I know just a little bit more?
