    Monitor 41 won't fire

    No voltage going to ignitor when the burner light is on. No fuses blown, everything else seems normal. Air pressure switch functioning. Is there supposed to be continuity across that ceramic resistor to the left of the board?

    when power is on to the computer board and the combustion blower is spinning, there should be a voltage across the two wires that go to the ignitor. if there isn't you'll have to check the 120 volt path through the ignitor relay to the ignitor, relay coil or both on the board.

      There is something like 36 MV, obviously not enough to fire an ignitor. My question also was about that ceramic resistor. Should it have continuity across it? It does not.

        I would think any resistor cept a thermistor would have "some" resistance across it. even then a thermistor has resistance ven if it's varying up and down. if you read an open across four meter ranges thenI'd say it is shot.
