Carlin 601 Gas, intermittent flame failure initially replaced igniter due to primary control noting current was low. I couldn’t get any current readings when I did the Carlin testing for ignitor, it passed the resistance test Igniter(41000). Unit has since gone down again, so I took apart gas gun adjusted my electrodes/ cleaned off flame rod. Cleaned entire assembly and checked electrical connections. The fault I have seen though is lockout, “igniter powered” and I look in the manual it says this: “relay miswired or welded” at that point I’m assuming you have to replace the control. Please advise any suggestions of more to check. When you reset the burner it never faults again while you’re there but once you’re gone it faults right out and there you go. I’ve shut it off and fired it like 6-8 times and it takes off.

    I believe that is the AI technology that looks to see if there is anybody in the room before locking out for no reason.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Seriously,  there should be a way to look at the last 50 faults.  Since you have had this lockout more than once, can you scroll thru the previous faults?   Are they all the same (Ignition)?  Are there any other messages in the list?

    they’re all ignition faults, it all says the same thing.
