Jandy Lite 2 Heater - Manually Lighting Pilot

[hoboryan]

Hi All,

I have an old Jandy Lite 2 Heater. Had a tech come in to start it up this year; the ignition switch is broken, so he had to manually light it. The problem is that the pilot light went out again.

I tried to relight it myself, but wasn't sure where to stick the lighter while holding down the "brown" switch. Has anyone had to manually light the pilot? If so do you know where I should be putting the lighter? I tried to put it where the "pilot flame" can be seen (normally), but it doesn't seem to be igniting.

Thanks!

Ryan

You should replace the defective part. Pilot lights don't just blow out, so there may be a problem with the gas regulator valve. Are you seeing any error codes?

Thanks for the heads up. Will get someone in to take a look at it. Unfortunately there aren't any error codes; it's an older model (my guess is over 10 years old).
