If they say it’s bad, replace it, if they say it’s good, it is probably good. I had one decades ago that tested good but wouldn’t work with the pilot flame. The end @ the pilot should not be corroded or loose. If you have a voltmeter you can do a rough (no load test) to see if it’s bad. Should be plenty of videos on line. <div><br></div><div>Peace,</div><div>Pat<br><br><div dir="ltr">Pat Horne <div>We support Habitat for Humanity</div><div><br></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Oct 22, 2022, at 4:44 PM, john <jniolon@att.net> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr">
