PROBLEM
Pilot light is not lit. Not enough
power (millivolts) to keep it lit.
Normal operation.
Insufficient power (millivolts) to the
gas control valve/thermostat.
High water temperature has
activated the over heat sensor.
Sensor failure
Gas Control Valve/Thermostat
failure.
This condition only appears if the
gas control/temperature knob has
been turned off and the thermopile
continued to produce electric
power. This condition can occur
if the thermopile does not cool
down as quickly as expected when
the unit is shut off. This condition
can also occur if the gas control/
temperature knob has been turned
off and the pilot continues to
operate because the pilot valve is
stuck in the open position.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Follow the lighting instructions on the front of the
water heater and record any diagnostic codes.
See Diagnostic Status Light Code section.
No corrective action necessary.
1.
Check all wiring connections. If problem
persists proceed to step 2.
2.
Replace the thermopile. If you feel
uncomfortable with this procedure contact a
qualified person.
Replace the gas control valve/thermostat. If you
feel uncomfortable with this procedure contact a
qualified person.
Replace the gas control valve/thermostat. If you
feel uncomfortable with this procedure contact a
qualified person.
Replace the gas control valve/thermostat. If you
feel uncomfortable with this procedure contact a
qualified person.
Make sure that the gas control valve/thermostat
knob is set to OFF.
Wait one minute. Remove
the outer door. Look through the sight glass for
a pilot flame. If a pilot flame is observed with the
gas control valve/thermostat knob set to the OFF
position, the pilot valve is stuck open. Turn the main
gas supply OFF. Replace the gas control valve/
thermostat.
If you feel uncomfortable with this
procedure contact a qualified person.
If the pilot flame is not observed when the gas
control valve/thermostat knob is set to the OFF
position, wait 10 minutes for the thermopile to cool,
then attempt to relight the pilot by following the
lighting instructions on the water heater's label. If
this condition returns, replace the gas control valve/
thermostat.
If you feel uncomfortable with this
procedure contact a qualified person.
