The gas control valve has sensed reversed polarity in the 120 VAC power supply. Pressure switch circuit remaining closed for more than 5 seconds after heating cycle begins. Blower may not start in this condition. SOLUTION 1 Ensure the wall outlet (power supply) is properly grounded. 2 Ensure all ground connections/wires heater are securely connected. on the water 1 Ensure the wall outlet/power supply is properly wired. 2 Ensure all internal 120 VAC wiring connections and wiring harness have no reversed wires. 120 VAC "hot" wire must connect to the on/off switch. Ensure air pressure switch circuit wiring is correct and the air pressure switch is not jumpered. 2 Replace the air pressure switch. 1 Ensure the air pressure switch sensing tube is properly connected at both ends and is not kinked or damaged. Pressure switch circuit remains open longer than 5 seconds after the blower is energized. Blower may run continuously in this condition. Ensure the correct size of vent and intake air pipe (direct vent products) was used per the installation instructions in the manual that came with the water heater. Ensure maximum number of elbows or maximum equivalent feet of vent or intake air pipe has not been exceeded per the installation instructions in the manual that came with the water heater. 4 Ensure there are no obstructions in the vent or intake air pipe. 1 Check wiring to the hot surface igniter assembly replace igniter assembly if wiring is damaged or worn. The gas control valve has detected an open igniter circuit. Check resistance of the igniter at igniter assembly plug - should be between 11 and 18 ohms - replace igniter if open or shorted. Check igniter assembly plug and the socket on the bottom of the gas control valve for good connection. Replace igniter assembly if the plug is worn or damaged. 5 Replace the gas control valve if the igniter assembly socket on the bottom of the control is worn or damaged. 1 Gas supply is turned off - pressure is too low. Ignition/flame failure. The gas control valve has reached the maximum number or retries (3) for ignition and is currently locked out for one hour. Cycle the power to the water heater off and on to reset. 2 Ensure the flame sensor is clean - use fine steel wool to clean the flame sensor. 3 Manifold gas pressure to the burner is too low. 4 Check igniter assembly plug and the socket on the bottom of the gas control valve for good connection. Replace igniter assembly if the plug is worn or damaged replace the gas control valve if socket is worn or damaged. 5 Replace igniter assembly. 30
