TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES

TROUBLE SHOOTING

Please check guidelines below.  For your safety, water heater service should be performed only by a qualified service technician.  

Read the GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION section first.

INTELLI-VENT TROUBLESHOOTING CHART - USER CONTROL

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Ignition/flame failure.

6

The water heater has reached the

maximum number of retries and is

currently locked out for one hour.

Cycle the power to the water heater

off and on to reset.

Service Note:

The resistance (ohms) of a hot surface

ignitor will increase over time. If the

resistance at room temperature is near

18.8 ohms - consider replacing the ignitor

as a preventative measure.

1. Press and release temperature adjust buttons. If above 

 action does not clear error, control will continue to regulate 

  water temperature at last setting. However, settings will no 

  longer be adjustable - the control should be replaced.
1. Turn power off for 10-20 seconds then on again to

 clear this error code.

4. Ensure the flame sensor is clean - use ultra fine steel

  wool or Scotch-Brite™ pad to clean flame sensor.
5. Ensure the hot surface ignitor is positioned to provide

 consistent ignition.
6. Check for any cracks in ignitor assembly ceramic

  insulators - replace ignitor assembly if damaged.
7. Check resistance of ignitor at room temperature (77ºF)

  (25°C) at the plug end. Replace ignitor if resistance is

  not within 11.5 and 18.8 ohms at room temperature.
8. Ensure correct size of vent pipe (2”, 3”, 4”) was used per 

  installation manual for vent length. Using larger pipe than required 

  may cause excessive air turbulance in combustion chamber.

1. Turn off power to the water heater.  

2. Insure black resistor wire is not cut, missing, and is installed 

  between pins 3 & 4 of ignitor assembly plug. Replace ignitor 

 assembly if damaged or defective.  

3. Unplug ignitor assembly plug from control. Check resistance 

  of black resistor wire between pins 3 & 4 with an ohm meter. 

  3.1 If reading taken is less than 2000 (5000 for date code 0617 

  through 0709) or more than 1.7 million ohms, replace ignitor 

 assembly. 3.2 If reading taken is between 2000 (5000 for date 

 code 0617 through 0709) and 1.7 million ohms, replace 

  Intelli- Vent™ control.  

Service Note: 

Raised ridges on ignitor assembly plug identify 

#1, #2, and #3 pins.  The four-digit date code can be found on 

side of the controller.

Self-diagnostic test found a problem with black 

resistor wire on the ignitor assembly plug; resistor 

wire is open or shorted.

Service Note: 

To perform this test ohm meter 

used must be capable of reading up to 2,000,000 

ohms. Unless ohm meter used has an auto-range 

feature resistance should be checked twice. First 

reading will be taken using an ohms scale above 

1,700,000 ohms. Second reading is taken using 

ohms scale just above 2,000 or 5,000 ohms.

2. Low supply voltage - should be 115 -125 VAC.
3. Ensure flame sensor is making good contact with burner

 flame, ensure flame is steady see #8 below.

1. Gas supply is turned off-pressure too low. Ensure supply and 

 manifold gas pressures are within requirements in installation 

  manual. Manifold gas pressure is non-adjustable if pressure is 

  off by more than 0.3” W.C. (75 Pa) replace Intelli-Vent™ control.
