Check sensor wiring for damage.

 

Fault

Measure resistance of sensor.

 

 

Clean sensor of scale build-up.

 

 

Ensure fan blade is tight on motor shaft and is in good condition.

 

 

Replace sensor.

52

Modulating Solenoid

Check modulating gas solenoid valve wiring harness for loose or damaged terminals.

 

Valve Signal Abnormal

Measure resistance of valve coil.

61

Combustion Fan Failure

Ensure fan will turn freely.

 

 

Check wiring harness to motor for damaged and/or loose connections.

 

 

Measure resistance of motor winding.

65

Water Flow Control Fault

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 appliance.

71

Solenoid Valve Circuit

Replace the PC Board.

 

Fault

 

72

Flame Sensing Device

Ensure flame rod is touching flame when unit fires.

 

Fault

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.

73

Burner Sensor Circuit

Check sensor wiring and PC board for damage.

 

Error

Replace sensor.
