Suddently our pool heater stopped lighting. I had a decent pool guy come out and he told me he thinks, isn't sure, that it's the blower because there are no error codes and he changed out the igniter. Sigh. So I found that hard to believe so started on my own investigation (Electrical Engineer). Here is what I have found:
1. The blower starts up just fine.
2. I hear the igniter click.
3. The burner does not light.
4. I smell gas for a second.
5. I get an ignition lockout after three tries.
I've replaced the ICM as another pool "expert" told me it was likely the ICM. Not a big deal 100bucks on ebay. No dice, I swapped it out today exact same issue. I get no error codes on the board at all, just the ignition lockout on the ICM. Maybe the igniter the first guy swapped was also bad? Any other ideas? I've taken apart the gas setup and orifice is fine. Thanks for any insight! Jim
