The blocked vent pressure switch contacts have opened. Check to make sure

 

 

the venting system is not blocked. Check to make sure the condensate drain is

not clogged and is sloping toward the drain. Make sure the vent length does

not exceed the specified limits. Make sure the vent terminal is not blocked.

Failed to Close

 

Check to make sure the pressure switch tubing is clear. Replace the pressure

 

 

 

 

switch if the venting system has checked out O.K. Control will reset once

 

 

problem is corrected.

Lower Sensor

Resistance of lower sensor out of operating range. Check continuity of wire

harness to lower sensor, and if O.K., replace lower sensor.

 

 

 

Pilot flame sensor rod is shorted to ground. Check to see if flame sensor wire

or other metal parts. Replace if flame sense wire is damaged or flame rod is

 

 

 

bent.

 

AC Line Frequency

Check line voltage frequency to the water heater. Determine if there are wide

fluctuations. Call an electrician if the problem persists. The water heater

Noisy or Frequency

 

should be on a separate line.

59

Line Voltage Too

Check line voltage to the water heater. Determine cause of low or high voltage.

Low or High

Call an electrician or your utility. The water heater should be on a separate line.

 

61

DC Output Voltage

Check line voltage to the water heater for erratic readings. Also check wiring to

make sure there are no shorts. If power supply and wiring are O.K., replace

Unstable

 

control board.

 

 

 

 

Burner is either not lighting or not staying lit during ignition cycle. Check inlet

 

 

gas pressure for minimum pressure on rating label. Can you hear sparking to

 

 

the burner? Check high voltage cable connections. Check inlet gas pressure

 

 

to the gas valve making sure the pressure is within the limits specified on the

 

 

rating label. Check gas valve wire harness for broken wires or shorts. Check

 

 

outlet gas pressure. If 24 volts is present to the terminals at the gas valve,

 

Maximum Number of

replace gas valve. Check for voltage output to the blue gas valve wires on the

62

control board pins. If during the ignition trial period, there is no voltage present

Retries Detected

 

at the control board pin terminals for the blue wires leading to the gas valve,

 

 

 

 

then replace the control board. Replace spark rod if insulator is damaged or

 

 

rod is loose. Check to make sure combustion blower is operating when

 

 

thermostat calls for heat. If blower is not running check for 120 volts to blower

 

 

harness and then at blower pin connections. Replace control, wire harness, or

 

 

blower if defective. Check to make sure vent terminals are clear of debris or

 

 

snow and ice. Make sure the condensate drain flows freely.

 

 

Burner flame is lost during run cycle, then re-established on ignition cycle.

 

 

Check inlet gas pressure. Is gas pressure dropping below the minimum

 

 

operating pressure on the rating label after the gas valve opens? Is the gas

 

Maximum Number of

pipe size to the water heater adequate? Check the condition of the burner.

63

Ignition Recycles

Clean or replace as needed. Check the burner flame and observe the

 

Detected

microamp output on the run cycle. Replace burner if clogged with dirt and

 

 

debris. Replace spark rod or flame sensor if damaged. Check to make sure

 

 

vent terminals are clear of debris or snow and ice. Make sure the condensate

 

 

drain flows freely.

64

Electronics Failure

Replace control board.

 

High Water

Water temperature in tank has exceeded 200°F (93°C). Check tank sensor.

 

Make sure sensor is fully inserted into the well (clip on sensor wire secures
