5. Operating Instructions
The 350-H wiring harness is a passive component of the electronic ignition system. Its function is to transmit electrical signals and power between the control module and the gas valve components (e.g., igniter, flame sensor, solenoid). Operation of the ignition system is controlled by the main appliance control module and the Dexen 6003 Series gas valve.
Refer to the user manual of your specific appliance and the Dexen 6003 Series gas valve for detailed operating procedures, including ignition sequences, flame supervision, and safety shutdown protocols.
6. Maintenance
Regular inspection of the wiring harness can help ensure reliable operation and prevent potential issues.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring harness for any signs of wear, fraying, cuts, or heat damage. Ensure the insulation is intact.
- Connection Integrity: Check that all connections remain tight and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or electrical arcing.
- Routing: Confirm that the harness is still routed correctly, away from high-temperature areas, sharp edges, and moving parts.
- Cleaning: Keep the harness free from dust, debris, and moisture. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning if necessary, ensuring power is disconnected.
If any damage is observed, or if the harness shows signs of melting or degradation, it must be replaced immediately by a qualified technician.
7. Troubleshooting
If the electronic ignition system is not functioning correctly, consider the following troubleshooting steps related to the wiring harness:
- No Ignition/Intermittent Ignition:
- Check all connections of the wiring harness to the gas valve and control module. Ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Inspect the harness for any visible damage, such as cuts, pinches, or signs of overheating. Damaged wires can prevent proper signal transmission.
- Verify that the harness is correctly routed and not interfering with other components.
- Gas Odor/Safety Shutdown:
- If a gas odor is detected, immediately shut off the gas supply and electrical power. Do not attempt to operate the appliance.
- Inspect the wiring harness for any signs of melting or severe heat damage, which could indicate an electrical fault or improper installation leading to a safety hazard.
- Contact a qualified service technician immediately for inspection and repair.
For comprehensive troubleshooting, always refer to the complete manual for your appliance and the Dexen 6003 Series gas valve, as the wiring harness is one component of a larger system.
