Step 8. To resume operation, follow the instructions located on the water heater lighting instruction label. Or, use the lighting instructions located in the water heater installation and operating manual.

Flammable Vapor Sensor Testing

CAUTION

Do not use standard multi-meter probes for this testing. Doing so will damage the con- nector. Use special pin type electronic probes or small diameter wire pins inserted into connector.

Step 1. Move the gas control power switch to the “OFF” position.

Step 2. Disconnect the flammable vapor sensor harness from the gas control.

Step 3. Using a multi-meter set to the ohms setting, measure the resistance of the flammable vapor sensor and resettable thermal switch. The resistance must be between 3,000 and 48,000 ohms. If the resistance is out of this range, verify that the resettable thermal switch has not been tripped. If it hasn’t, replace the thermal switch.
