No Heat Smart Valve Pilot Don't Ignite 

After 5 hours being annoyed with my furnace, new gas valve, new control board, I still had no pilot, nozzle was clogged. Good thing I do my own work, at least I only paid $300 for the parts, but the no pilot was annoying. Watching him made me check my pilot gas, was there, still couldn't light at the nozzle. Took the assembly out, found a small pin, cleaned out the nozzle, hurray, working furnace. Thanks man.

Good fix bro, one thing I can never understand is this is the only trade where everyone is perfect and bash all the guys who don't do it "their" way. Support and help the guys around you. Keep up the Good work and ill be watching and reading all the supertechs comments......asshats

Keep up the good work bro. Glad to see another rtu repair. Keep’em coming.

I thought these were 24v ignitors? How come you were getting only 9v?

Hey hacker! You saved the day for me with the idea of bending the pilot outlet! My parent's 28yo furnace pilot would not light unless you blew slightly at the pilot while it was sparking. I tried this hack and BINGO! Thanks for your vids!

Wow...some rude folks watching. He’s doing a good job.

Treat it like it was a boiler and give it some rough justice💪

Glad to see more videos from you

Good vid bro, ill be tuning in for any new ones. Thanks for taking the time to post. Us hvac junkies need our fix.

hackville usa....sweet fix mr. know how it's done...carry on

ima be down in the basement using your hacker methods on my pos furnace in a minute

You ought to looking into buying a set of hypodermic probes for those Molex plugs, makes testing sooo much easier!

One hell of a hack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it

Honeywell smart valve system with low voltage HSI. So much more complicated than it had to be. The only thing I disliked worse was the old White Rodgers IID systems with the plug in mercury sensor at the gas valve. Was glad when everyone went to DSI and got rid of the pilot all together. A lot of those smart valves were defective at the plug connectors. We had one smart valve unit where a small beetle would climb into the pilot hood once a week, blocking the gas flow. For some reason the bug was attracted to that pilot. Good job hack.

24volts comes out of the gas valve on the orange wire to the main board after main burner ignition to start the timer for blower

Great fix, probably someone else was there before you. I have had something like that many times. Thanks for the video's.

I've seen this a couple of times, one just last week. For whatever reason, the ignitors doesn't work up to their full potential sometimes. A new ignitor will glow almost twice as bright and light the pilot every time. Sometimes I use a propane torch or lighter to light the pilot and the burners will work. I have broken the pilot assembly bending them that way. I hate when that happens. lol

Nice video when my on demand water heater pilot stopped working I blow compressed air thought then it worked again it was gummed up

Love the vids man thank you

WOW! Takes the pilot port out of gas valve to check for gas. Classic!

interesting, thought maybe someone changed the pilot assembly or igniter and just jammed one in that was close, but after watching further, looked like it wasn't pulling and mixing air with the gas on the pilot, seemed to have a big lazy rich flame, and burning something out of it, so probably a bug/spider in the pilot tube above orifice or down inside blocking the air bleed holes. if you have pilot gas flow, the easiest way to confirm some blockage is a long lighter to light it manually. you can sometimes put flame into the air bleed holes and get what in there burnt out or clear it by blasting high pressure air through the side air holes or down the tube unhooked from gas valve. of course the igniter can get broken pretty easy playing with hoses and air, who hasn't broken them before fiddling around or dropping them, I've broken two in a row before on a rather sick and clumsy day :(

Nice job only question is who put the unit back on the roof after Mario and Luigi threw it off the bridge?

good video man

in the video looks like main gas valve is in the off position ???

“”THE JERSEY HACKER DOES IT AGAIN”” A very talented hacker at that but can’t sing for shit. You crack me up dude. Sometimes you have to let the hacker out. Hey they have heat right so haters can suck the balloon knot.

There goes another satisfied customer. The hacker. Peace brother

was pilot orifice plugged or did you just bend hood, I saw very small allen put back

Hacker huh? I think not! Now that P-trap zip tied to the gas line might be in the hack category

plugged tube eddie leak master

Did that unit have a pilot???? And a glow igniter???? I know those rtu's either had spark ignirers or glow ignites but no pilot tubes...wow I've never seen that model

oh so your the guy that warps the pilot nut so i can't get my wrench on it lol. good eye on that pilot tho.

Check for 24 volts at the gas valve. If there is then. the valve may be bad. Pilot. Hits flame sensor. Board senses signal from the sensor and sends 24 volts to the valve.

love it !!!!

the minute you said 22Volts, I knew the transformer wasn't wired properly. I saw the taps were on the two outside taps, WRONG!

I had to see why a package unit did not work today. The unit I checked out today looked exactly like this unit. I had a bad control board, fuse to the transformer and T3 connector.

Ok cool thanks, didnt know that. Only seen pilots and auto starters without pilots

Good video. I wonder if a previous tech installed the wrong igniter? Or maybe the igniter was just worn out?

did you check for spider in pilot

Another save by the Hackster ...Lol ... Good vid Hack ... I think your a great singer and actor ... But I drink a lot ... So ...

Killed me bro 😂🤣😂🤣love your channel

Spider in the pilot?........on thr boilers I work on with a pilot spiders love pilot and burner orifices.....go figure..... ...Love when they leave when you start taking it apart....

Great video! When u r replacing a gas valve couldn't you count the number of turns as you are taking it off to get the same orientation

Where did you get that cute 90* angle driver for your drill??? I'd like one

What camera do you use btw?

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL HACK!!!!

Nice trouble shooting video / repair

Hey hacker , you got good singing voice lol

The shit I guy runs into when you go to the job site. How did it get bent so far off

화질이 엄청 좋네요 고프로인가~

Found a different beetle in the pilot hood three times, already dead. Not our fault, had to charge them

Keep your day job dude !!!

This hacker hacked it so he can hack it. Now that's a hacker!

I'm in another biz and might be considered a hacker also and not a parts changer and get to what is causing the issue. Seems although in this biz checking efficiency on the way out would be part of the game? I know it is not you but the trade in general like mine, get in and get out. A lot of waste in not checking gas pressure or other on the way out. I gave you a thumbs up for getting it working but my mind says other things needed to be done to be correct.

So your not going to set that pilot light up correctly with a manometer, hack. It's not the hood, it was the pilot tube plugged with a spider web. I use a bike cable. It's flexible, run it in the tube and clear out the spider web.

Interesting video. The audio is muffled making it hard to understand what you are saying.

Did they pay the gas bill

Don’t ya hate working on something someone else that doesn’t know what they were doing was working on?

👍

Uff. What a inefficient Burner. No isolation nothing. And I think no Euro 6 exhaust. Some times it is crazy to see what kind of standards other countrys have.

smart valves are not to smart lol, glad they did away with them but are they costly to replace.

PS..all you need is a 5 gallon bucket chair...

Holy shit more like HVAC GOD lol

If you're getting pilot gas at the valve. You pilot is clogged. clean the pilot.

If it's ain't Broken, Bend it.....

I would like to see that heat exchanger condition .Lmao

I had a problem with the igniter not lighting, would this be the igniter/ pilot assembly?

he's lost the plot

200.00 repair,I would have sold a gas valve and board here...1200.00.cause i am a parts changer...

It’s really really hard to watch a “technician” troubleshoot by randomly checking things. Then be praised for how great they are....am I being too harsh?
