-Fault Analysis of Error Codes-
• Check the DIP switch settings on the PCB (Part #701).
• Ensure the gas type of the water heater matches the gas supplied.
• Inspect the environment around the water heater. Determine how long the
unit has been installed.
• Ensure the heater altitude DIP switches are properly set to match the
installed altitude.
• Check if there is any blockage in the intake air and/or exhaust.
• If the water heater is installed as a direct-vent system, check whether there
is enough distance between the intake air terminal and the exhaust terminal.
• Check if there is grease and/or dirt in the burner (Part #101) and the fan motor
(Part #103), especially if the water heater has been installed in a contaminated
area.
• Check if the Hi-limit switch (Part #412) is properly functioning.
• Check for connection/breakage of wires (Part #413, 708, 709, 711) burn marks on
the computer board (Part #701), and/or soot on the flame rod (Part #108).
• Check if there is a buzzing spark ignition sound coming from the burner (Part
#101) when the water heater prepares for combustion.
• Listen for the double "clunk" sound coming from gas valve assembly (Part
#102) when water heater goes into combustion.
• Check if there is leaking from heat exchanger (Part #401).
• Check if the Hi-limit switch (Part #412) is functioning properly.
• Check for connection/breakage of wires (Part #413, 708, 709, 711) burn
marks on the computer board (Part #701), and/or soot on the flame rod
(Part #108).
• Check if there is leaking from heat exchanger (Part #401).
• Check for and remove any blockage in the condensate drain line, neutralizer
(if installed), condensate drain assembly inside the water heater (part #416,
421, 423).
• Ensure that any horizontal drain line runs are sloped downward. Removal
any sags in the drain line.
• Check for connection/breakage of wires and/or debris on thermistor (Part
#407, 408, 411, 715).
