Is there continuity across the “Hot Surface Ignitor?” If

 

no, then replace hot surface ignitor. If yes, then replace

 

the ignition module.

Main valve does not turn on

Put your hand on the gas valve. When the “Valve” LED

 

lights on the ignition module, can you feel it energize?

 

If not, then check the voltages at the ignition module

 

across pins 2 and 7 on the plug “CONTROL”. If there

 

is 24 VAC across these pins, then check to see if the

 

“Rectifier Harness” is secure. If it is secure, then

 

replace the “Gas Valve”

 

If you can feel the gas valve energize, check the main

 

gas supply is not in the off position.

Burner Flame keeps going out

Is there minimum gas supplied to water heater as stated

 

on the rating plate? If not, then increase the supply

 

pressure to the water heater.

 

Measure the microAmps through the flame sensor using

 

a multimeter. Is there at least 4 microAmps? If not,

 

then replace the “Flame Sensor” or flame sensor wire.

Thermostat does not satisfy

Is the tank temperature above the temperature set point?

 

Does the T&P relief valve leak? If yes, then replace

 

“Thermostat PC Board.”

Blower did not post purge

Check “Vacuum Switch” (air intake switch) as

 

previously mentioned.

 

Check “Pressure Switch” (exhaust pressure switch) as

 

previously mentioned.

 

Check “Collector Limit Switch” as previously

 

mentioned.

 

If above switches are all ok, then replace “Ignition

 

Module.”
