Why is the pilot light on my pool heater not working?
Pilot light tubing or orifices may be clogged. They can become clogged by rust, dirt, insects or vegetation over time. Ensure there is no internal moisture or water. Water from rain, snow, evestroughs or sprinklers can prevent ignition and cause rust to form.
What to do if your pool heater is not 24V?
Turn the thermostat up, and the On/Off switch towards the correct dial. If there is not 24V at this terminal, replace the Temperature Board ( pn R0011700) and if there is 24V but no heat, it’s most likely the Thermistor ( pn R0011800 ).
Why does my Laars Lite heater not work?
If you used most of that the pilot would just shut down and the heater would not work. If the flame is not good, the generator weak, the wiring loose or corroded even a little there is a good chance the little voltage there is will not be enough to open the gas valve.
How much does it cost to repair a Laars Lite pool heater?
Believe it or not, when our Laars Lite 2 pool heater, heat exchange unit, began leaking we were not about to pay $900 to replace it either — we took it apart and went to a radiator shop and had it repaired. The heat exchanger is similar to a radioator, it cost around $120 to have it fixed — and it is still ok after 3 seasons.
Why does my gas pool heater pilot light not ignite?
If the gas pool heater pilot light won’t ignite there are a few reasons for this. It’s something that can be checked easily but if the problem isn’t visible you may need to call a service professional to inspect further.
What should I do if my pool heater is not working?
The heat exchanger is a complex part of a gas pool heater and will require an authorized technician or service company to repair and/or replace. A technician will perform routine gas pool heater troubleshooting as part of their service call and provide a quote for work required once the problem is diagnosed.
