●
Water Adjustment valve
error
●
If the 434 error occurs, connect the Water adjustment valve to the PCB. The valve must be kept open when the
water heater is not operating. If the PCB is defective, the motor keeps operating and the valve continues to make
attempts to open/close.
Check items 1. Defective water adjustment valve
2. Defective PCB
3. Check the operation of the water adjustment valve using the Component Test mode (refer to page 47).

Possible Causes
Defective temperature Check if the cold water temperature sensor is open and if the connector is attached
sensor connector properly.
Measure the temperature sensor resistance. (Defective if it is 30kΩ or higher.)
●
Temperature sensor
Replace the temperature sensor if the resistance is abnormal
●
Defective PCB If the issue continues despite the checking the items above replace the PCB.
Direct water temperature sensor
Water adjustment valve error – The system commands opening of the water adjustment valve, but the valve
remains closed. [Check the feedback sensor.] (Cleared manually)
If the Water adjustment valve sensor open/short-circuit is detected, the system displays an error message. If
flow is sensed, the system clears the error automatically and provides the hot water. If open/short-circuit is
detected after hot water is used, the system displays the error message.
Check method
Check if the water temperature sensor is open.
Error type: MΩ Open
