    Sorry, I remember now that you replaced this. So many threads, so little memory... you were getting 28v at gas valve during ignition trials but no click from valve? Is valve switch on?

    What are the terminal designations on the gas valve - "TH" & "TR", or "P", "C", & "M"? If the latter is true, is there a jumper between "P" & "M"?

    It is M and C and there is no jumper between m and p as p is blank

    Okay, try this: set voltmeter to AC amps function (make sure probes are connected to the right inputs), attach one probe to "M" terminal and one to wire removed from "M" terminal. Now turn heat on and see if you measure any amperage during ignition trial (when you hear click from gas valve relay on circuit board). If you do but hear no click from gas valve, the valve is bad, likely stuck closed.

    Continuity test,, the wireing on each end . Pull the wires loose from each limit switch and use the same tester to see if they are open

    razorface agrees: this post is better than the gospel

    Sorry to disagree,, nothing is better than the gospel
