    Pentair MiniMax Plus 400 - Pilot light works, burners don't fire

    Bought a house (first time pool owner and reasonably handy DIYer). Searched the forums and see plenty about this model, but not specifically this issue so sorry if this is a duplicate. The MiniMax will light the pilot fine. All the green lights on the left are lit. (Notably the power light...
