120 volt exposure. To avoid personal injury,
use caution while performing this procedure.
This procedure assumes the flue damper is in working order. Be sure damper opens under its own power when the
thermostat circuit is by-passed. Damper must be open or removed during this test. Do not force damper open using your
hands or tools.
With power on to water heater,
Verify Primary and secondary voltage at
the transformer
(see photo 3)
THERMOSTAT CIRCUIT BY-PASS
Turn power "OFF" to water heater and
locate thermostat board inside control box
of water heater. Disconnect YELLOW wires
from the thermostat board at location
"N.O." & "COM". Use a jumper to connect
these two wires together
(see photos 4 & 5).
Turn power on to water heater.
Does LED on ignition module illuminate?

Turn power "OFF".
Remove jumper and re-connect wires to
thermostat board. Wires are identified for
proper connection to board.
Disconnect ORANGE potentiometer (temp
adjustment dial) wires from thermostat
board (see photo 7)
Check potentiometer for proper resistance values of:
Greater then 4800 Ohms with dial at minimum setting.
Less than 50 Ohms with dial at maximum setting.
(see photo 8).
Are readings correct?
