cjack posted:There are several threads on that pilot light in the last few years. That resistor is something in the ten thousands of ohms I remember. Anyway, it's all in the thread as well as the switch part number which is a common switch. One issue is a lack of a diode to protect the LED from the reverse voltage of the AC input. Something we have remedied when replacing the switch.
cjack, Thanks, here's what I think I got after reading thru a number of posts and finding your diagram.
Adding a diode and 1 watt 10K resistor as shown to a suitable replacement switch such as below should provide a reasonable solution to the lost pilot light problem.
