Fault

Remedy

Thermal Fuse

Check gas type of unit and ensure it matches gas type being used.

 

 

Check for restrictions in air flow around unit and vent terminal.

 

 

Check for low water flow in a circulating system causing short-cycling.

 

 

Ensure dip switches are set to the proper position.

 

 

Check for foreign materials in combustion chamber and/or exhaust piping.

 

 

Check heat exchanger for cracks and/or separations.

 

 

Check heat exchanger surface for hot spots which indicate blockage due to

 

 

scale buildup.

 

 

Refer to instructions in manual for flushing heat exchanger.

 

 

Measure resistance of safety circuit.

 

 

Ensure high fire and low fire manifold pressure is correct.

 

 

Check for improper conversion of product.

16

Over Temperature Warning

Check for restrictions in air flow around unit and vent terminal.

 

 

Check for low water flow in a circulating system causing short-cycling.

 

 

Check for foreign materials in combustion chamber and/or exhaust piping.

 

 

Check for clogged heat exchanger.

32

Outgoing Water Temperature Sensor

Check sensor wiring for damage.

 

Fault

Measure resistance of sensor.

Clean sensor of scale build-up.

Replace sensor.

33Heat Exchanger Outgoing Temperature Check sensor wiring for damage.

 

Sensor Fault

 

Measure resistance of sensor.

 

 

 

 

Clean sensor of scale build-up.

 

 

 

 

Replace sensor.

34

Combustion

Air Temperature Sensor

Check for restrictions in air flow around unit and vent terminal.

 

Fault

 

 

Check sensor wiring for damage.

 

 

 

 

Measure resistance of sensor.

 

 

 

 

Clean sensor of scale build-up.

 

 

 

 

Ensure fan blade is tight on motor shaft and is in good condition.

 

 

 

 

Replace sensor.

52

Modulating

Solenoid

Valve Signal

Check modulating gas solenoid valve wiring harness for loose or damaged

 

Abnormal

 

 

terminals.

 

 

 

 

Measure resistance of valve coil.

61

Combustion

Fan Failure

Ensure fan will turn freely.

 

 

 

 

Check wiring harness to motor for damaged and/or loose connections.

 

 

 

 

Measure resistance of motor winding.

65

Water Flow Control

Fault

If blank screen is present on remote control then the flow control has

 

 

 

 

shorted. Unplug flow control. If remote lights up and unit starts operating

 

 

 

 

then replace flow control assembly.

71SV0, SVl, SV2, and SV3 Solenoid Valve Check wiring harness to all solenoids for damage and/or loose connections.

 

Circuit

Fault

 

 

 

Measure resistance of each

solenoid valve coil.

 

72

Flame

Sensing Device

Fault

 

Ensure flame rod is touching

flame when unit fires.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check all wiring to flame rod for damage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove flame rod and check for carbon build-up; clean with sand paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check inside burner chamber for any foreign material blocking flame at

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

flame rod.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measure micro amp output of sensor circuit with flame present.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replace flame rod.

On new installations ensure

hot and cold water lines are

not reversed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check for bleed over.

 

 

Isolate unit from building by turning off hot water line to building. Isolate the circulating system if present. Open your pressure relief valve; if water is flowing, there is bleed over in your plumbing.

Ensure you have at least the minimum flow rate required to fire unit. Ensure turbine spins freely.

Measure the resistance of the water flow control sensor.

Check for DC shorts at components.
