Turn the power off for 10-20 seconds then on again to clear these error codes. If any of these error codes persist or cannot be cleared - replace the gas control valve. The gas control valve has sensed main burner flame out of proper sequence. The gas control valve has detected excessive water temperature in the tank and has activated the ECO (energy cut off) high temperature limit. 1 Turn the power off for 10-20 seconds then on again to clear these error codes. 2 Replace the gas control valve if this error code persists. 1 Turn the power off for 10-20 seconds then on again to clear these error codes. 2 Replace the gas control valve if the error code persists. The gas control valve has detected that one or both of the temperature adjust buttons are stuck. The gas control valve has detected the water temperature sensor (located in the control valve's immersion probe) is either open or shorted. The gas control valve has detected the FV (flammable vapor) sensor is either open or shorted. 1 Press and release both temperature adjust buttons several times - cycle water heater power off and on. 2 Replace the gas control valve if the error code persists. 1 Turn the power off for 10-20 seconds then on again to clear these error codes. 2 Replace the gas control valve if the error code persists. 1 Ensure all FV sensor wiring is correct and the igniter assembly plug and socket connections on the bottom of the gas control valve are making good contact. 2 Replace the FV sensor. 1 Do not touch any electrical switch, do not use any phone in your building, and do not try to light any appliance. The gas control valve has detected the presence of flammable vapors from the FV (flammable vapor) sensor. Smell around the water heater to ensure there are no gas leaks at the gas control valve, in the supply gas line(s), or any other type of flammable vapor(s) in the area. Carefully inspect the area surrounding the water heater for any substances such as gasoline, paint, paint thinners, varnish, or cleaners that could emit flammable vapors. Remove anything that can potentially emit flammable vapors from the area and store it properly in a different location. 4 Call the technical information support phone number shown on the water heater labeling for further assistance. 1 On models equipped with a dilution air intake screen on The gas control valve has detected the blower assembly - check/clean this screen. the air pressure switch circuit is 16 I ";°;I 000 • opening repeatedly during one heating cycle. 2 On models equipped with a combustion air intake screen on the base ring (bottom) of the water heater - check/clean the screen. LDO (Lint, Dust, and Oil) lockout condition. 3 Ensure intake air screen(s) on models so equipped are not obstructed. 31

circuit,
internal
microprocessor,
or
other
internal
circuits.
The gas control
valve
has sensed
main burner
flame
out of proper
sequence.
The gas control
valve
has detected
excessive
water
temperature
in the
tank
and has activated
the ECO
(energy
cut off) high temperature
limit.
The gas control
valve
has detected
that
one or both
of the temperature
adjust
buttons
are stuck.
The gas control
valve
has detected
the water
temperature
sensor
(located
in the control
valve's
immersion
probe)
is either
open
or
shorted.
The gas control
valve
has detected
the
FV (flammable
vapor)
sensor
is
either
open
or shorted.
The gas control
valve
has detected
the
presence
of flammable
vapors
from the
FV (flammable
vapor)
sensor.
