Ignitor Housing
Common Repair Procedure:
1. Visually inspect the housing for cracks, burns, or other damage.
2. Clean off any dirt, grease, or corrosion using a suitable solvent.
3. If structural damage is found, replace the entire housing to ensure a proper seal.
Heat Sink
Common Repair Procedure:
1. Remove any debris or buildup from the heat sink fins.
2. Test for proper heat dissipation by checking temperatures during operation.
3. Replace or reattach the heat sink with fresh thermal compound if overheating is evident.
Transistor
Common Repair Procedure:
1. Use a multimeter or specialized tester to check for proper transistor functionality.
2. Inspect solder joints and electrical paths for continuity and signs of wear.
3. Replace the transistor if it fails testing or displays visible damage.
Electrical Connectors
Common Repair Procedure:
1. Disconnect and inspect all wires and terminals for corrosion or looseness.
2. Clean connector pins with an electrical contact cleaner and apply dielectric grease as needed.
3. Repair or replace damaged connectors to ensure secure voltage supply and signal flow.
Internal Circuit Board
Common Repair Procedure:
1. Carefully open the ignitor assembly to expose the board.
2. Check for burnt components, cracks in the board, and bulging capacitors.
3. Resolder or replace affected components, ensuring correct parts and proper soldering technique.
