Answer

Gary, You will want to check to see if the igniter is coming on. If the igniter is coming on then check the gas coils on the unit. You can test the coils using a multi-meter. The two prong coil will read 1,000-1,300 ohms, and the three prong coil will read 1,300-1,400 ohms across prongs 1&2, and 500-600 ohms across prongs 1&3. If the igniter is not coming on then check the thermostats on the unit for continuity and check to make sure that there is 120 vac to the igniter. Also check for continuity on the flame sensor.
