VAL6 EPX  Trouble Shooting 

No.

Possible Cause

How to check

Result

Remedy

37

Replace a burner control

Electrode is defective

Replace an electrode

abnormal electrode

Confirm that an electrode or
a high-voltage cord are not
wet or dirty by grime

Clean an electrode or a
high-voltage cord

(clearance is out of
alignment)

Refer to drawing

(See

diagram blow)

Plug in connector (CN12)
firmly

If it works normally, ignition
transformer connector
(CN12) fails on contact

Plug in ignition transformer
connector (CN12) again,
and then turn on the
operation switch

Ignition transformer
connector (CN12) is
loose connection

The heater does not ignite

  Fuel pump doesn't turn on (no vibration of the fuel pump)

42

If it shows AC 0V, burner
control is defective

Burner control is
defective

39

40

If it shows ∞Ω, the

ignition transformer is
defective

41

Electrode is not sparking

Measure voltage at
terminal for ignition
transformer (CN12) on
burner control
Standard:  EPX1 AC230V
                EPX5 AC120V

Replace a burner control

Ignition transformer is
defective / Ignition
transformer cord is
disconnection

If it shows AC 230V/120V,
fan motor is defective

Replace an ignition
transformer

If it works normally, fuel
pump connector fails on
contact

Plug fuel pump connector
(CN14) again, and then turn
on the operation switch

Fuel pump is defective

Replace a circuit board

Burner control is
defective

Fuel pump connector
(CN14) is loose
connection

Plug connector   (CN14)
firmly

Measure voltage at
terminal for fuel pump
connector (CN14) on
burner control

Cord color: blue-blue
Standard value:
EPX1: 

AC 120~180V

EPX5: 

AC 60~96V

Replace a fuel pump

If it shows AC 120~
180V/60~96V, the pump

is defective

(Cord color & Standard value)

Remove an obstacle in fan
motor or replace a fan
motor

34

Fan motor is stuck

Turn the fan by hand

If the fan doesn't rotate or
does rotate hardly, the fan
motor is stuck

36

Disconnect a power
plug while the operation
switch is "ON"

Power supply is
recovered after power
shutdown such as a
blackout while the
operation switch is
"ON"

  Overheat, tip-over and overvoltage lamp is lit (Abnormal fan speed detection is working)

Switching "OFF" and
"ON"

Replace a fan motor

If it shows AC 230V/120V,
fan motor is defective

Measure voltage at
terminal for fan motor (CN
15) on burner control
Standard:  EPX1 AC230V
                EPX5 AC120V

If it shows AC 0V, burner
control is defective

Replace a burner control

If the heater works, power
supply is shut down while
the operation switch is
"ON"

Once the operation switch
is "OFF", then turn on the
operation switch again

Ignition transformer is
defective

Take an ignition
transformer cord out from
electrode, then measure
resistance of ignition
transformer

Fan motor is defective

35

Not applicable in above

38

If it shows AC 0V, burner
control is defective

43

Replace an ignition
transformer

EPX1  black-black (thick):

approx. 3kΩ

EPX5  black-black (thick):

approx. 4kΩ
