Bradford White TW4-75S-76B-3X - Manual (Page 5)

Tools Required for Service
It is intended for this manual to be used by qualified service personal for the primary purpose of
troubleshooting and repair of the Bradford White TTW Series water heaters. Understanding the
sequence of operation section of this manual will contribute greatly to troubleshooting the water
heater.
The Honeywell WV4460E Electronic Gas Control will display error codes in the event of abnormal
operation. Error codes are listed in the troubleshooting chart beginning on page 12 of this service
manual. The troubleshooting chart will also indicate the probable cause for the error code and
direct the service professional to a service procedure to properly diagnose the abnormal operation.
In some difficult to diagnose conditions, it may be necessary to isolate the heater from the vent
system to determine the problem.
Contact the Bradford White technical support group immediately if diagnosis can not be made
using the methods described in this service manual.
