I stopped the device. I don't know how to restart it.

Hold in your pilot button, then push the spark button repeatedly to light your pilot. Once its lit, hold that pilot button in for 30 seconds to heat your thermocouple. once its heated, release the button, and slide the slider to burner position. Turn on hot water fixtures to get the unit to light

Turn on switch and nothing happens

Sounds like you might you might have a faulty ground in the original circuit. You possibly have a solenoid that is sticking, bad ground, wiring, etc...... because of age/carbon buildup/etc. and needs replacing, or the sparking mechanism associated with the solenoid isn't sparking properly. If it is all part of the same regulator there might be a problem with gas flow through the regulator to the jets. Either way, I think I would start by looking at the solenoid, see if its replaceable by itself and work back from there. Good Luck!!

If you can't hear clicks, then very likely it is the "microswitch" that is a rectangular white plastic box that can be seen at the bottom of the unit from underneath. It's purpose is this: when there is gas pressure, a pushrod turns the switch on, thereby allowing electrical current to flow from the "hydrogenerator" to the igniter unit. The hydrogenerator generators from about 1 to 2.5 volts AC (not DC) when water is flowing, powering the generator which powers the igniter unit....assuming the microswitch is allowing electrical current (the voltage) to pass through. It is a "self-adjusting" switch because the pushrod can come out at different pressures. So if your gas fluctuates, the microswitch will be fixed to a higher pressure level, but not be able to turn on if the pressure drops. This is because the pushrod is not pushing as far. It's simple to unscrew the plastic box and push the teethed switch setting back to the initial default position, and then carefully replace the plastic cover. Then do it again next time it stops working, a year or two it seems for many people. You can take out the switch and connect it's two wires directly, but if there is no gas pressure and you let water flow through, the igniter unit will constantly be sparking and thereby might fail early. If there is no gas pressure, then maybe it is because of a local leak and thereby bypassing the switch is a built-in explosion hazard, but that would require the sparking to no longer be internal to the ignition unit.

Piloit won't stay lit.

I would check to make sure thermocouple is in proper position in pilot flame. If so and pilot won't stay lit I would replace thermocouple. Thanks

It sounds like your main valve. The diaphram may be loose fitting or it has a small leak.

The direct ignition switch will not light the burner, We have replaced the switch, but it still does not light.

Have you checked for 12 volts DC getting to spark module ? If it's just the 2 wires going to spark module, Red and green, check for 12 volts at the red wire.
If it has the 9 wires on 2 connectors, check for 12 volts at Brown and Orange. If no 12 volts there, then you'll have to go back to switch and check there for 12 volts in and out when switch in on position. Let me know what you find.
