WATER HEATER CONTROL

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Please check guidelines below. For your safety, water heater service should be performed only by a qualified service technician.

Read the GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION section first.

The self-diagnostic test determined resistance

1.

Turn off power to the water heater.

 

 

of the black resistor wire on ignitor assembly

2.

Unplug the ignitor assembly plug from the control. Check

 

 

 

plug is not within tolerance.

 

 

 

 

the resistance of the black resistor wire between pins

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3 & 4 with an ohm meter. 2.1 If the reading taken is more

 

 

 

 

 

than 100,000 (50,000 for data code before 0616; 70,000

 

 

 

 

 

for data code 0617 through 0709) ohms replace the ignitor

 

 

 

 

 

assembly. 2.2 If the reading taken is less than 100,000

 

 

 

 

 

(50,000 for data code before 0616; 70,000 for data code

 

 

 

 

 

0617 through 0709) ohms replace Intelli-Vent™ control.

B C D E F

Air pressure switch circuit is opening

1.

Ensure air pressure switch hose is not kinked or clogged;

 

 

repeatedly during one heating cycle. May be

 

ensure the blower housing is clear of any condensation.

 

 

 

caused by air pressure switch and/or the vent

2.

Check vent temperature limit switch - if it is determined

 

 

 

temperature limit switch (these two switches

 

 

 

are wired together in a “series” circuit).

 

that the vent temperature limit switch is opening its

 

 

 

 

 

contacts at normal operating temperatures during heating

 

 

 

 

 

cycle - replace the vent temperature limit switch.

 

 

 

 

3.

Ensure water heater is not over-firing. 3.1 Check burner

 

 

 

 

 

orifice size and ensure the correct orifice is installed;

 

 

 

 

 

replace as necessary. 3.2 Check manifold gas pressure

 

 

 

 

 

and ensure it is within 0.3” W.C. (75 Pa) of listed rating on

 

 

 

 

 

Intelli-Vent™ control valve. Manifold gas pressure is

 

 

 

 

 

non-adjustable, if manifold gas pressure is off by more

 

 

 

 

 

than 0.3” W.C. (75 Pa), replace the Intelli-Vent™ control.

 

 

 

 

4.

Ensure condensate lines are not obstructed. Check and

 

 

 

 

 

clear all condensate lines including the floor condensate

 

 

 

 

 

drain line.
