If the Main Burner ignites momentarily but does not sustain ignition
allow the water heater to try to ignite up to two more times until
control system locks out and the Ignition Failure Fault message
is displayed on the control system's LCD. If the water heater is
experiencing rough starts - see Rough Starting, Rough Operation
on this page. For momentary ignition problems without rough
starting check the following:
• Incorrect manifold (offset) gas pressure.
• Undersized supply gas line (low volume of supply gas).
• Low Gas Pressure
• See the list of possible causes and things to check and repair
for the Ignition Failure Fault message.
• Clogged/blocked intake air screen(s).
• Clogged/blocked Main Burner.
NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
• No power to the water heater, check breaker, fuses and the
water heating Enable/Disable (on/off) switch.
• Hot water supply valve(s) to fixtures closed.
• Operating Set Point is set too low, Differential setting is set too
high.
• Temperature Probe Offset setting are causing the heating cycles
to terminate prematurely.
• The heating capacity of the water heater has been exceeded,
the water heater is unable to meet demand.
• Colder incoming water temperature lengthening the time
required to heat water to desired temperature.
• Hot water piping leaks, open faucets, water heater drain valve
leaking or open.
• Sediment or lime scale accumulation may be affecting water
heater operation.
WATER IS TOO HOT
• Operating Set Point is set too high.
• Temperature Probe Offset settings improperly set.
