SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
Your water heater is equipped with an ignition module that
incorporates a diagnostic system to assist in troubleshooting
the appliance. The indicator codes on the ignition module are
as follows:
1 flash System lockout (retries or cycles exceeded)
2 flashes Pressure switch stuck close
3 flashes Pressure switch stuck open
4 flashes Open on high temperature limit switch (eco)
6 flashes 115 volt AC power reversed (check polarity)
7 flashes Low flame sense signal (make sure flame
sensor is in burner flame)
8 flashes Check ignitor
TABLE 11.
continuous flash -> continuous flame sensed > 5 seconds
without gas valve
continuous on -> internal control failure - replace ignition control
module.
Use this diagnostic system in conjunction with the
“OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST” and the “SEQUENCE OF
OPERATION” to troubleshoot the appliance.
SERVICE
The installer may be able to observe and correct certain
problems which may arise when the unit is put into operation.
HOWEVER, it is recommended that only qualified
servicemen, using appropriate test equipment, be allowed
to service the heater.
As preliminary step, check wiring against diagram, check for
grounded, broken or loose wires. Check all wire ends to be sure
that they are making good contact.
ELECTRICAL SERVICING
CAUTION
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN
