1.

Check the incoming gas line pressure to ensure adequate supply to the water heater. If incoming

 

 

 

 

 

gas supply pressure is adequate proceed to step 2.

 

 

2.

Check all wiring connections and insure all harness and wires connections are seated firmly and

 

 

 

provide proper electrical contact. If no connection problems are found proceed to step 3. Firmly

 

 

 

seat any loose connections found. If any connections are found to be damaged consult the

 

 

 

replacement parts list for the appropriate replacement. After any connection problems are fixed

 

 

 

restart the water heater by following the lighting instructions on page 16. If the problem persists

 

 

 

proceed to step 3.

 

 

3.

Check condition of the base ring filter and flame trap. If they are clogged follow the instructions for

 

 

 

cleaning on page 24. If parts are not clogged proceed to step 4. After cleaning follow instructions

 

 

 

for lighting on page 16. If problem persists proceed to step 4.

 

 

4.

Follow the instructions on page 23 to remove the burner assembly. Once the burner assembly has

 

 

 

been removed inspect the manifold tube and burner, see figure 29, for any obstructions. If any

 

 

 

clogs or obstructions are present clear them. Inspect the electrode/flame sense rod, see figure 35,

 

 

 

for corrosion buildup, degradation, or damage. If there is evidence of any damage to the electrode/

 

 

 

flame sense rod replace the igniter/pilot assembly. Follow the directions on page 25 to re-install the

 

 

 

burner assembly into the combustion chamber. Follow the instructions for lighting on page 16. If the

 

 

 

problem persists contact a certified service representative.

 

 

 

Two Flash, three second pause

End Switch Failed Closed

Look at the top of water heater to see if the damper is open, see figure 20. If the damper is open insure

 

 

there is no obstruction that would prevent the damper from closing. If there are any obstructions turn

 

 

the power switch on the gas valve to the “OFF” position, remove the obstruction, if the damper closes

 

 

turn the power switch on the gas valve to the “ON” position. If there are no obstructions present turn the

 

 

power switch on the gas valve to the “OFF” position. Observe the damper to see if the damper closes.

 

 

If the damper does not close unplug the power cord from the power outlet and proceed to step 1. If the

 

 

damper closes turn the power switch on the gas valve to the “ON” position.

 

 

1.

Check all wiring connections to insure all harness and wire connections are seated firmly and

 

 

 

provide proper electrical contact. If no connection problems are found replace the damper. Firmly

 

 

 

seat any loose connections found. If any connections are found to be damaged consult the

 

 

 

replacement parts list on page # for the appropriate replacement. After any connection problems

 

 

 

are fixed restart the water heater by following the lighting instructions on page 16. If the problem

 

 

 

persists replace the damper.

 

 

 

Three Flash, three second pause

End Switch Failed Open or TCO Limit Lockout

Turn the power switch on the gas control valve to the “OFF” position and unplug the power cord from the

 

 

power outlet.

 

 

1.

Attempt to depress the TCO door switch button, see figure # . If the TCO door switch button

 

 

 

depresses follow the instructions for cleaning the filter and flame arrestor on page 24. After

 

 

 

cleaning is completed follow the lighting instructions on page #. If the TCO door switch button

 

 

 

does not depress proceed to step 2.

 

 

2.

Follow the lighting instructions on page 16. Observe the damper during initial startup. If there is a

 

 

 

call for heat and the damper opens allow the unit to continue to perform and monitor any change

 

 

 

in status. If there is a call for heat and the damper does not open proceed to step 3.

 

 

3.

Check all wiring connections to insure all harness and wire connections are seated firmly and

 

 

 

provide proper electrical contact. If no connection problems are found replace the damper.

 

 

 

Firmly seat any loose connections found. If any connections are found to be damaged consult

 

 

 

the replacement parts list on page 31-32 for the appropriate replacement. After any connection

 

 

 

problems are fixed restart the water heater by following the lighting instructions on page 17. If the

 

 

 

problem persists replace the damper.
