It is intended for this manual to be used by qualified service personal for the primary purpose of troubleshooting analysis and repair of the Bradford White eF Series® Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater. Understanding the sequence of operation section of this manual will contribute greatly to troubleshooting this product.

An “Installation Check List” is shown towards the end of this manual. Compare the installation against the installation check list to confirm all requirements are met.

An “eF Service Report” is shown towards the end of this manual. Completing this form will assist in the troubleshooting efforts. Should you need to call for technical support, Please provide the information shown on this form to the support technician to insure accurate troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting begins with “System Observation” to determine failure mode as indicated by the LED status of the ignition module. Troubleshooting continues with “Failure Modes and Probable cause” directing the service provider to a series of test procedures to determine root cause of failure. Component replacement procedures directly follow the test procedures for a given component.

In some difficult to diagnose conditions, it may be necessary to isolate the heater from the vent system to determine root cause.

Contact Technical support immediately if diagnosis is not determined using the methods described in this service manual.

Manometer:

Two types available, a liquid “U” tube type or a digital (magna-helic)

 

type. This device is used to measure gas and/or air pressures and

 

vacuum.
