Common Failures
One of the common issues observed with this product is the failure to release Argon. Although the solenoid may maintain continuity, an overheated power resistor can contribute to this symptom.
Repair Approach
Repairs typically involve removing conformal coating to access and assess the underlying circuits, specifically those controlling the gas valve. The process includes testing the gas solenoid valve circuits and verifying voltage and current draw to ensure proper functionality.
