Remedy

Check for restrictions in air flow around unit and vent terminal.

Check for low water flow in a circulating system causing short-cycling. Check for foreign materials in combustion chamber and/or exhaust piping. Check for clogged heat exchanger.

Condensate container is full.

Check condensate drain for blockage. Replace condensate trap.

Measure resistance of sensor.

Replace sensor.

Check sensor wiring for damage. Measure resistance of sensor. Clean sensor of scale build-up. Replace sensor.

Check sensor wiring for damage. Measure resistance of sensor. Clean sensor of scale build-up. Replace sensor.

Check modulating gas solenoid valve wiring harness for loose or damaged terminals. Measure resistance of valve coil.

Ensure fan will turn freely.

Check wiring harness to motor for damaged and/or loose connections. Measure resistance of motor winding.

The water flow control valve has failed to close during the bath fill function. Immediately turn off the water and discontinue the bath fill function. Contact a state qualified or licensed contractor to service the water heater.

Replace the PC board.

Ensure flame rod is touching flame when unit fires. Check all wiring to flame rod for damage.

Remove flame rod and check for carbon build-up; clean with sand paper.

Check inside burner chamber for any foreign material blocking flame at flame rod. Measure micro amp output of sensor circuit with flame present.

Replace flame rod.

Check sensor wiring and PC board for damage. Replace sensor.

Flush heat exchanger. Refer to instructions in manual. Replace heat exchanger.

NOTE: The LC code is the only error code that will allow the unit to keep running. The display will alternate between the LC code and the temperature setting. The controller will continue to beep. The LC code will reset if power is turned off and then on.

Clean inlet water supply filter.

On new installations ensure hot and cold water lines are not reversed.

Check for bleed over. Isolate unit from building by turning off hot water line to building. Isolate the circulating system if present. Open your pressure relief valve; if water is flowing, there is bleed over in your plumbing.

Ensure you have at least the minimum flow rate required to fire unit. Ensure turbine spins freely.

Measure the resistance of the water flow control sensor. Check for DC shorts at components.

If any of the above diagnostic codes are seen flashing on the display, call for service.

WARNING

Failure to remedy faults may result in severe burns, scalds, and/or death.

TGHE-160E-N(X), TGHE-199E-N(X) specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation in the water heating industry. Among its extensive range of products, the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) models stand out for their advanced technology and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial applications.

The TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are high-efficiency, gas-fired water heaters designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable energy solutions without compromising on performance. Both models feature a powerful, energy-efficient design that significantly reduces energy consumption while providing a consistent supply of hot water.

One of the main features of these models is their use of advanced technology in water heating. The units are equipped with a high-efficiency burner and an optimized heat exchanger that maximizes the transfer of energy, ensuring rapid heating and minimal standby loss. This efficiency is further enhanced by their ability to modulate gas flow, allowing the heater to adjust its operation based on actual demand, rather than running at full capacity at all times.

Safety is a priority in the design of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X). Both models are equipped with an electronic ignition system, which eliminates the need for a continuous pilot light, reducing gas consumption and enhancing safety. Furthermore, they include advanced venting options, such as concentric or PVC venting, providing installation flexibility while adhering to stringent building codes.

Moreover, these water heaters are built to last, featuring a durable tank design with a powder-coated, steel construction and a patented Vitraglas® lining. This lining protects against corrosion and extends the life of the tank, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

Installation and maintenance of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are straightforward, thanks to their user-friendly design. They come with easily accessible components, making service and repairs less time-consuming and more cost-effective.

In summary, the Bradford-White TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) gas-fired water heaters exemplify the best in modern water heating technology. Their energy efficiency, safety features, and durable construction make them a top choice for those seeking dependable hot water solutions in residential and commercial settings. With a commitment to innovation and quality, Bradford-White continues to lead the way in delivering superior water heating products.
