Bradford white water heater thermostat well sensor fault reset

Pilot Will Not Light 1. No incoming gas or too low gas pressure. 1. Turn on gas supply and/or check line pressure. 2. Gas control knob set to wrong position. 2. Review lighting instruction. Set com bination/thermostat gas valve to correct position. 3. Pilot light button not being fully depressed when attempting to light pilot. 3. Review lighting instruction Fully depress pilot lighting button. 4. Pilot orifice or pilot tube is obstructed or kinked. 4. Clean repair or replace. 5. Pilot electrode not sparking to pilot. 5. Verify correct electrode position. Replace pilot assembly. 6. Piezo igniter not functioning. 6. Replace Piezo igniter. Pilot Will Not stay lit when button is released 1. Poor thermocouple connection at combination thermostat/gas valve. 1. Check connection at combination thermostat/gas valve. Proper tightness should be finger tight plus/turn. 2. Thermocouple not fully engaged in pilot assembly bracket. 2. Inspect thermocouple to ensure that it is fully engaged into pilot bracket 3. Pilot flame is not fully enveloping the thermocouple ’hot' junction. 3. Adjust tip of thermocouple to be fully engulfed by pilot flame. 4. Weak or defective thermocouple. 4. Check thermocouple and replace if necessary. 5. Open ECO on combination thermostat/ gas valve. 5. Check ECO continuity and replace combination thermostat/gas valve if necessary. 6. Defective magnet in combination thermostat/gas valve. 6. Check magnet operation and replace combination thermostat/gas valve if necessary. 7. Resettable thermal switch has opened. 7. Determine cause of switch activation. To reset, depress button on resettable thermal switch located on inner door. Pilot will light but the main burner will not come on 1. Combination thermostat/gas valve set too low for desired water temperature. 1. Adjust temperature dial on combination thermostat/gas valve. 2. Combination thermostat/gas valve temperature is satisfied. 2. Check temperature dial setting on combination thermostat/gas valve. 3. Insufficient gas supply or low gas pressure. 3. Check gas supply and line pressure. 4. Combination thermostat/gas valve has wide differential or is out of calibration. 4. Check combination thermostat/gas valve for proper operation, replace if necessary. Pilot goes out periodically (after heating cycles, once a day, once a week etc.) 1. Insufficient combustion air supply. 1. Verify adequate combustion air is available to the unit. Check and clear Jacket slot openings of any dirt, dust, restrictions or other obstructions. Inspect flame arrestor plate and clean with stiff bristled brush and/or vacuum to remove any debris accumulation. 2. Incorrect, clogged vent system/ vent terminal or location. 2. Check venting for proper sizing and proper operation 3. Inconsistent gas supply or gas pressure. 3. Check gas supply and line pressure. Not enough hot water 1. Combination thermostat/gas valve set too low for desired water temperature. 1. Check dial on combination thermostat/gas valve. 2. Cold inlet water temperature is very cold. 2.Extremely cold water going into the heater will decrease the amount of hot water produced. It may be necessary to temper incoming water supply. 3. High demand periods. 3. Adjust high demand usage. 4. Incorrectly sized water heater for application. 4. Contact Plumbing professional. 5. Combination thermostat/gas valve is out of calibratior not functioning. 5. Check combination thermostat/gas valve for proper operation, replace if necessary. 6. Out of spec dip tube is diluting hot water with cold water. 6. Inspect dip tube and replace if necessary. None (LED not on or flashing Gas Control is operating normally. Pilot flame may not be present. Check for pilot flame through sight glass and light if necessary. 1. Gas Control is functioning normally. 2. Gas Control is not powered. Light pilot. 3. Thermopile failure. One flash and three second pause If set point knob is in “PILOT” position then pilot flame is detected. Turn set point knob to desired setting. Gas Control is powered and waiting for the set point knob to be turned to a water temperature setting. LED on continuously (Solid) Set point knob has been recently turned to the 'OFF' position. Wait until LED goes out before attempting to relight Set point knob was turned to “OFF" position. Two flashes and three second pause Weak pilot signal detected. System will reset when pilot flame is sufficient. 1. Thermopile failure 2. Unstable pilot 3. Pilot tube block or restricted. 4. Resettable thermal switch has opened Three flashes and three second pause Insufficient water heating. System will reset. 1. Temperature sensor out of calibration Four flashes and three second pause Excessive tank temperature. 1. Temperature sensor out of calibration System must be reset. 2. Faulty Gas Control Five flashes and three second pause Thermostat/well sensor fault. 1. Damage to the temperature sensor. 2. Temperature sensor resistance out of range. Six flashes and three second pause Water leak detected by accessory module. Excessive amount of water in drain pan/water dam. Seven flashes and three second pause Gas Control electronic fault detected. 1. Control need to be reset. 2. Control is wet or physically damaged. Eight flashes and three second pause Standing pilot remains on while set point knob is in “OFF’ position. Pilot van stuck in open position.
