Fault
Action
HEATER SOOTING,
(a) Check gas burner pressure and injector size. If possible, check heat input with meter and watch.
YELLOW FLAME
(b) Clean burners and injectors.
(POOR COMBUSTION) (c) Flue obstruction. Clean flue ways.
(d) Check flue design and termination position.
(e) Check for correct ventilation.
WATER
(a) Reset thermostat to lower temperature.
TEMPERATURE
(b) Thermostat faulty. Check and replace if necessary.
TOO HIGH
(c) Main gas valve not closing. Clean or replace.
WATER
(a) Reset thermostat to higher temperature.
TEMPERATURE
(b) Check gas pressures at burner and at gas inlet to heater.
TOO LOW
(c) Thermostat faulty. Check and replace if necessary.
NOT ENOUGH
(a) Check gas pressures at burner and at gas inlet to heater.
HOT WATER
(b) Check amount of water being used against recovery rate given on data plate. If usage too high,
more heating capacity needed.
WATER DRIPPING
(a) Check if this stops when water in heater is hot. If yes, then condensation is the problem caused
FROM BASE OF
by incorrectly designed flue or by tank cooling excessively, i.e. more hot water being used than
HEATER
recovery rate of heater. If so, more heating capacity needed.
(b) If water continues to drip when heater is hot, problem is leaking joint or storage vessel.
RUMBLING NOISE
(a) Scale formation in heater, consult water treatment specialist. Heater must be descaled and
suitable water treatment provided to avoid re-occurrence.
8.3 Auto ignition units standard range
Fault
Action
NO IGNITION AT
(a) Check gas service cock is open.
PILOT
(b) Electrical ON/OFF switch is not ON.
(c) Power to unit interrupted.
(d) Thermostat set too low.
(e) Check ECO for failure. Reset.
(f) Check for 24V AC at intermittent pilot ignition control terminal No. 1. Replace control if faulty.
(g) Faulty Solenoid Coil. Replace if faulty.
PILOT LIGHTS BUT
(a) Check for 24V AC at intermittent pilot ignition control terminal No. 3. Replace control if faulty.
MAIN BURNER
(b) Faulty Solenoid Coil. Replace if faulty.
