P1 labeled “PRIMARY” and P2 labeled “SECONDARY” from ignition module.
Step 5. For Hot Surface Ignition models,
Disconnect secondary leads (blue &
yellow wire) from thermostat board.
Note the blue wire is connected to
24 volt “HOT” terminal. (see photo below)
For Direct Spark Ignitionmodels,
Disconnect primary leads (black & white) and
secondary leads (blue & yellow) from the
transformer. (leads are different sizes to
prevent interchanging)
Step 6. Remove the 2 screws ( short Phillips screw driver) holding the transformer in place and

Reconnect wire harness P1 & P2,
connections are non-interchangeable
to insure proper reconnection.
For Direct Spark Ignitionmodels,
Reconnect primary and secondary wires to transformer.
(leads are different sizes to prevent interchanging)
Step 9. For Hot Surface Ignition models,
Reconnect blue & yellow wire leading from the
P2 connection on ignition module to
thermostat board. Note the blue wire must connect to the 24
volt “HOT” terminal. (see photoat right)
Step 1. Position main power switch to “OFF”.
Step 2. Disconnect (Unplug) water heater
