    What does F01 error mean on my A.O. Smith Cyclone BFC - 30?
    • A
      Alexandra GoldenSep 1, 2025
      If your A.O. Smith Water Heater is showing an F01 error, which indicates a defect in the power supply circuit, here are potential causes and solutions: * Live and neutral connected incorrectly: Ensure the live and neutral wires are correctly connected, as the appliance is phase-sensitive. * Condensation on the flame probe: Disconnect the lead at the flame probe, ignite the appliance three times with an interrupted ionization circuit, reconnect the lead, and ignite again to evaporate condensation. * Floating neutral: Install an isolating transformer; contact your installation engineer for assistance.

    How to troubleshoot F03 error on A.O. Smith Cyclone BFC - 30?
    • L
      Lindsey ChapmanAug 31, 2025
      If your A.O. Smith Water Heater shows error F03, indicating the pressure switch isn't working correctly, it could be due to: * Damaged wiring/Open circuit: Check and replace the wiring between the pressure switch and the controller if necessary. * Pressure switch not closing: Check the fan speed, ensure hoses on the pressure switch and air supply hose are correctly fitted and not cracked, verify the flue gas outlet is compliant, check for blockages in the flue gas and condensation water discharges, and measure the pressure differential across the pressure switch. Clean the heat exchanger if the pressure differential is insufficient; otherwise, check the pressure switch with a multimeter.
