Introduction The new Bradford White TTW2 & TW4 water heaters are designed to provide reliable performance with enhanced standard features. New design features include reliable spark to pilot ignition system, enhanced diagnostics, simplified servicing, significantly quiet operation and additional vent lengths.
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 can not be made using the methods described in this service manual.

Sequence of Operation Power up Sequence Start Up. Upon power up, the control runs a safe-start check with a typical start-up delay of 1-5 seconds. Simulated Resistive Load Device Check. To assure no outputs are energized if the “Simulated Resistive device” is out of range, the control will test the the device for proper operating range.

Sequence of Operation Normal Heating Sequence (cont.) Steady state operation. During Steady State Operation the Control Monitors: Thermostat temperature sensor- When set point temperature is satisfied, gas valve is shut down and blower will post purge for 15 seconds. Control LED flashes a short flash once every 4 seconds (idle) status code.

Sequence of Operation Abnormal Operation (cont.) 3. Pressure Switch/Blower Temperature Fault: a) Pressure switch closed at start of call for heat - The gas control waits four seconds then, proceeds to flash 2 times with 3 second pause. The control waits 2 minutes and then turns on blower for 30 seconds. The blower turns off after 30 seconds and the control waits for pressure switch to open.
Troubleshooting Green LED Observe green LED indicator on Indicator Electronic gas control. Error flash codes are displayed with a three second pause before repeating.

TTW SERVICE PROCEDURE I Burner Operation Inspection, Adjustment, Cleaning and Replacement Burner Inspection and Air Shutter Adjustment. At periodic intervals (every 6 months) a visual inspection should be made of the pilot and main burner for proper operation and to assure no debris is accumulating. Pilot flame should be stable, some causes for an unstable pilot flame are: a) Water heater vent is less than the allowable vent length.
