Hello everyone, first off this forum is a massive resource of information. I was hoping one of the vets here can help me down the right path.
Here is where I am at. Advanced in technical-inclination (at least I think so)
Natural Gas Jandy JXi 200n, about 6 years old now. I bought the house last year it performed flawlessly all year. This year would not turn on, gave me check ignition steps fault. As a newb with pool equipment I started with the ignitor, found the porcelain was cracked and it tested as open circuit. Replaced that, and still nothing (I handled it very carefully and did not touch the element with my fingers).
Noticed the power distribution board has burn marks on the "chip" in the middle and the socket. I made a wiring diagram for 220v and just soldered jumpers on the board in the same fashion as the chip (used 12awg, which is even bigger than that is in the unit), still nothing.
Started reading just about everything here and continued on....
Now I run through the entirety of the troubleshooting steps in the Jandy graphic, all sensors test 24v to ground, 24v is being supplied to the W terminal on the Fenwal. I check F2 and theres nothing. F1 has 110v, F2 nothing. Fenwal is displaying airflow fault. The blower has not kicked on one time during this entire process.
I jump f1 and f2 to test the blower, it powers up great and runs fine. I check for 24v on both sides of the pressure switch and the normally open contacts are closing fine. When I run the unit with the blower jumped I never get any heat out of the exhaust.
I feel the unit is not igniting. Both of my gas shutoffs are open.
What is the next troubleshooting step? Could my ignitor still be bad (yes) and I'm not getting ignition? How can I verify the gas valve is opening?
