	Ensure flame rod wire is connected.
	Check flame rod for carbon build-up.
	Disconnect and reconnect all wiring harnesses on unit and PC board.
	Check for DC shorts at components.
	Check gas solenoid valves for open or short circuits.
	Remove burner plate and inspect burner surface for condensation or debris.
Thermal Fuse	Check gas type of unit and ensure it matches gas type being used.
	Check for restrictions in air flow around unit and vent terminal.
	Check for low water flow in a circulating system causing short-cycling.
	Ensure dip switches are set to the proper position.
	Check for foreign materials in combustion chamber and/or exhaust piping.
	Check heat exchanger for cracks and/or separations.
	Check heat exchanger surface for hot spots which indicate blockage due to scale build-up.
	Refer to instructions in manual for flushing heat exchanger.
	Measure resistance of safety circuit.
	Ensure high fire and low fire manifold pressure is correct.
	Check for improper conversion of product.
Over Temperature Warning	Check for restrictions in air flow around unit and vent terminal.
	Check for low water flow in a circulating system causing short-cycling.
	Check for foreign materials in combustion chamber and/or exhaust piping.
	Check for clogged heat exchanger.
Outgoing Water Temperature Sensor Fault	Check sensor wiring for damage.
	Measure resistance of sensor.
	Clean sensor of scale build-up.
	Replace sensor.
Heat Exchanger Outgoing Temperature Sensor Fault	Check sensor wiring for damage.
	Measure resistance of sensor.
	Clean sensor of scale build-up.
	Replace sensor.
Combustion Air Temperature Sensor Fault	Check for restrictions in air flow around unit and vent terminal.
	Check sensor wiring for damage.
	Measure resistance of sensor.
	Clean sensor of scale build-up.
	Ensure fan blade is tight on motor shaft and is in good condition.
	Replace sensor.
Modulating Solenoid Valve Signal Abnormal	Check modulating gas solenoid valve wiring harness for loose or damaged terminals.
	Measure resistance of valve coil.
Combustion Fan Failure	Ensure fan will turn freely.
	Check wiring harness to motor for damaged and/or loose connections.
	Measure resistance of motor winding.
Water Flow Control Fault	The water flow control valve has failed to close during the bath fill function. Immediately turn off the water and discontinue the bath fill function.
	Contact a qualified or licensed contractor to service the appliance.
	Toronto and Area (647) 925-1930
SV0, SV1, SV2, and SV3	Check wiring harness to all solenoids for damage and/or loose connections.
Solenoid Valve Circuit Fault	Measure resistance of each solenoid valve coil.
Flame Sensing Device Fault	Ensure flame rod is touching flame when unit fires.
	Check all wiring to flame rod for damage.
	Remove flame rod and check for carbon build-up; clean with sand paper.
	Check inside burner chamber for any foreign material blocking flame at flame rod.
	Measure micro amp output of sensor circuit with flame present.
	Replace flame rod.
Scale Build-up in Heat Exchanger (when checking maintenance code history, “00” is substituted for “LC”)	Flush heat exchanger.
	99$ Toronto and area flush (647) 925-1930
	Replace heat exchanger.
	NOTE: The LC code is the only error code that will allow the unit to keep running. The
	display will alternate between the LC code and the temperature setting. The controller will continue to beep. The LC code will reset if power is turned off and then on.
Nothing happens when water flow is activated.	Clean inlet water supply filter.
	On new installations ensure hot and cold water lines are not reversed.
	Check for bleed over. Isolate unit from building by turning off hot water line to building.
	Isolate the circulating system if present. Open your pressure relief valve; if water is flowing, there is bleed over in your plumbing.
	Ensure you have at least the minimum flow rate required to fire unit.
	Ensure turbine spins freely.
	Measure the resistance of the water flow control sensor.
	Check for DC shorts at components.
