It is intended for this manual to be used by qualified service personnel for the primary purpose of
troubleshooting and repair of the Bradford White PV Series water heaters. Understanding the sequence of
operation section of this manual will contribute greatly to troubleshooting the water heater.
The Honeywell WV4462A Electronic Gas Control will display error codes in the event of abnormal operation.
Error codes are listed in the troubleshooting chart beginning on page 15 of this service manual. The
troubleshooting chart will also indicate the probable cause for the error code and direct the service
professional to a service procedure to properly diagnose the abnormal operation.
In some difficult to diagnose conditions, it may be necessary to isolate the heater from the vent system to
determine the problem.
Contact the Bradford White technical support group immediately if diagnosis cannot be made using the
methods described in this service manual.

device is used to measure gas and/or air pressure and vacuum.
A digital type is strongly recommended. This device is used to measure
electrical values. The meter you select must have the capability to
measure volts AC, volts DC, Amps, micro-amps and ohms.
