My ignitor konked out a year or so ago. Last winter I manually started all year.
This year I'm determined to get the ignitor working again.
I started off the season with some help from a professional who had a battery powered lift truck and was able to move the very heavy unit outside for me so it could be cleaned out with compressed air. He showed me how to clean the room fan, which is something that needed to be done (and I didn't even know was necessary). Really, there's no way Id be able to move this thing myself, and no fscking way I'd want to clean it that well inside (so this was money well spent).
Thing is running beautifully, except the Ignitor he brought out doesn't work.
Don't mind solving this one myself, but would like to get it solved.
Old ignitor no longer started, looked physically burned, and likely was kaput (but maybe just partially worn).
New ignitor works on 120V AC, but the ignitor port on the Integra only puts out 55V.
I see some Integra II ignitors labelled "low power", maybe they're supposed to be 55V? Only specs I see on them are 250W. Where can I get the specs for this? There's a specsheet for sale on the net regarding the older integras, only thing I see on the newer ones is the user manual which has zero information on tech specs.
Ran a good voltage tester across things.
AC looks like a healthy 117V at the wall, similarly on various AC components inside the unit.
The ignitor circuit shows 55V and change between the two legs (with or without ignitor connected).
One leg shorted to ground shows 55V.
One leg shorted to ground shows a fraction of 1V.
Before I tear the board out and start testing relays and such......
Possible I need a low power 55V ignitor but only have a new 120V one?
The older and newer integras def. use different ignitors.
Thoughts? Bad board or ignitor?
