and Harness Testing

If the control has gone into lockout due to excessive tank temperature (four flash, 3 second pause) reset the control by rotating the gas control knob to “OFF” position. Then follow the lighting instructions and return the gas control knob to the desired setpoint.

Observe the water heater operation. If the gas control continues to lockout due to excessive tank temperature, proceed to thermal sensor and harness testing to determine the cause.

THERMAL SENSOR AND

HARNESS TESTING Position the gas control knob to the “OFF” position and disconnect the thermal sensor harness from the gas control.

Using a multi-meter set to the Ohms setting, determine the resistance of thermal sensor .

(see caution photos at right)

CAUTION

DO NOT use standard multimeter probes for this test. Doing so will damage connector. Use special pin type electronic probes or small diameter wire pins inserted into connector.

Using a multi-meter set to the ohms setting, insert one meter probe (see caution) into center wire position of thermal well connector, insert the second probe (see caution) into either of the outside wire positions (see photo on left).

Alternate the probe on the outside position to the opposite outside wire position (see photo on right).
