removing each component. Doing so
will keep the fasteners organized and
will expedite reassembly.
WARNING
□
Before servicing, disconnect
power to the water heater by
unplugging it from the wall
outlet or turning it off at the
circuit breaker, as appropriate.
□
Use a non-contact circuit tester
to confirm that power is off
before working on or near any
electrical parts.
□
Ensure that the gas supply is
shut off at the manual gas
shutoff valve.
□
Replace the front cover after
servicing.
□
Failure to follow these
warnings can lead to personal
injury or death.
1. Prepare the water heater for
service as follows:
1.1 Disconnect power to the
water heater by unplugging
it from the wall outlet or
turning it off at the circuit
breaker, as appropriate.
1.2 Shut off the gas supply at
the gas supply line’s manual
shutoff valve.
1.3 Once the power and
gas have been turned
off, remove the front
panel from the water
heater. INDOOR MODELS:
Remove the Temperature
Controller (item 722, page
71) by disconnecting its
white connector from the
computer board.
2. Remove the computer board from
the water heater according to the
following steps. (See also Figure
41, p. 49 or Figure 42, p. 50.)
2.1 INDOOR MODELS ONLY:
Unplug the wire connectors
for the exhaust high limit
switch (item 472, p. 74)
and the exhaust thermistor
(item 718, p. 74). See also
Figure 41, page 49.
2.2 Disconnect these wires from
the front of the burner:
•
Flame rod wire (orange).
See Figure 41, p. 49
OR Figure 42, p. 50
(center of picture).
•
Air-fuel ratio rod/AFR
wire (yellow).
NOTICE: The connector
is locked onto the spade.
To release the AFR rod
connector, follow the
instructions in Figure 25,
page 37.
•
Igniter rod wire (black).
See Figure 41, p. 49
OR Figure 42, p. 50
(center of picture).
2.3 Remove the screw that
secures the computer board
assembly. See Figure 41
(p. 49) OR Figure 42 (p.
50).
Do not remove connectors
from the circuit board. Now
that the computer board is
unsecured, you can move it
around as you work with the
other components.
3. Remove both screws which secure
the fuse box to the manifold
plate. Move the fuse box away
from the work area. See Figure 41
(p. 49) OR Figure 42 (p. 50).
Disconnect wire connectors as
needed.
INDOOR MODELS: When you
are finished, allow the fuse box
to hang from the wire which is
attached to the air intake vent
at the top, left-hand side of the
cabinet.
4. Unplug the white connector above
the main gas valve (yellow wires).
This connector is shown just above
the “Main Gas Valve” in Figure 41
(p. 49) and Figure 42 (p. 50).
5. Remove the Gas Valve and
Manifold Plate Assembly:
5.1 Remove the screw that
secures the remaining
ground wire (green) to the
manifold plate.
5.2 Remove the screws that
secure the manifold plate;
doing so will remove the
igniter assembly as well.
