Question about Lite On Laars Lite 2 Heaters: 250,000BTU MV Heater
Hey, my pool heater turns on, that is the pilot light will come on, it will click, the flames will turn on and then go right out. What could cause this and how would I fix it?
There is a small probe that is heated by the pilot flame. This is called a thermocouple & keeps the gas valve open by generating a small electric current. Most likely the pilot flame is too small, or not heating the thermocouple properly. Either turn the pilot up a bit, or gently bent the thermocouple bracket to put it in the flame a bit more. Do not try to bend the thermocouple itself. If this does not help, a new thermocouple may be needed.

My laars lite 2 will come on and work fine in dry conditions(I did put a roof over it)but after a rain or very humid day it will cycle on and fire up for about 4 seconds then turn off. The filter is clean and pressure low,someone told me it could be moisture getting the circuit board.Any ideas will be appreciated
just had pool opened. pool people removed burners over winter. now heater cycles on and then off after 20 seconds. can I remove burner assemply to check thermocouple? and what does thermocouple look like?
I just purchased the lite2 lj propane version. it ignites and stays on for about 7 secs then shuts off. I have checked the flame sensor and it appears to be in the flame. what could be the problem?
My Laars Lite 2 won't stay lit. The gas flame come on for about 5 seconds but then goes out. I bypassed the preeuse switch but it continues to happen.
