30
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Power supply is off
2. No 24V power to thermostat
3. Thermostat malfunction
4. LED flashes
5. Blown fuse on control board
6. Defective control
1. Blown fuse on control board
2. Multiple causes
1. Main gas is off
2. Air in gas line
3. Main or manifold gas pressure
4. Check gas valve switch
1. Reversed main power polarity
2. Unit not grounded
3. Flame not sensed
1. Loose connections
2. Defective control board
3. Defective fan motor
1. Service air moving components annually.
a. Check fan for fit on motor shaft and for damage to blades.
2. Keep unit free from dust, dirt, grease, and foreign matter,
paying particular attention to:
a. Combustion air inlets.
b. Burners and burner orifices. Turn off gas ahead of the
combination gas control and shut off electric power to the
heater. Remove the access panel, open the union on the
gas line, and disconnect the igniter and sensor wires.
Remove the screws that attach the burner tray to the
header plate and remove the burner tray and manifold
assembly from the heater. Carefully clean the burners with
a wire brush or other suitable means. Replace any
damaged or deteriorating burners or orifices. Install the
burner assembly back onto the header, making certain that
all screws, pipes and electrical connections are tight.
CAUTION: Be careful when handling the igniter and flame
sensor.
3. Inspect the flame sensor and igniter for deterioration and/or
cracks.
4. Verify that the burners are touching each other at the
carryover points. This will ensure flame carryover from burner
to burner.
a. Clean exterior of heat exchanger tubes.
b. Fan blades.
5. Check wiring for possible loose connections.
6. The gas valves and piping should be checked annually for
general cleanliness and tightness. The gas controls should be
checked to insure that the unit is operating properly. See
control instruction sheets furnished separately with the unit
heater.
7. The power exhaust motor bearings have been lubricated for
long life and do not require additional lubrication. In dirty
atmospheres, it may be desirable to clean the motors and
blower housing and blow out the cooling air passages of the
motor with compressed air.
8. Perform periodic cleaning of inlet and vent terminal screens.
POSSIBLE REMEDY
1. Turn on main power
2 a. Check control transformer
b. If failed transformer - check thermostat wire gage and length
3 a. Verify wire connections to R&W terminals only
b. Check / replace thermostat
4. Check LED flash code
5. Replace fuse
6. Replace control
1. Replace fuse
2. Control board LED flash codes vary with control type. A decal is
installed in the unit giving a brief description of the applicable codes
for your heater. For more detail, see the control board data sheet
included with the unit.
1. Open manual gas valve
2. Purge gas line
3. Set gas pressures per manual instructions
4. Set gas valve switch to "ON" position
1. Black wire - HOT, White wire - NEUTRAL, Green wire - GROUND
2. Ground unit and verify quality of ground connection
3. Check flame sense probe and connection
1. Check all connections
2. Check control board data sheet and function
3. Check fan motor
