I removed the front panel and observed the burner. From a cold start it works fine - igniter glows, gas fires and runs for a few minutes. When gas cuts off the first time it will not restart - igniter glows then stops but no gas - this repeats every few minutes. Is this somehow related to the different funtion of the two soleniods?
