10-13. Exhaust thermistor
Unit Part # #706 Takagi Part # EKH6E Checkpoint K1
Function
Measure the exhaust temperatures in the exhaust chamber.
Failure events
Unable to measure exhaust temperature in the exhaust chamber properly.
Effects on the water heater
if exhaust thermistor fails
If the thermistors fail open or short, error code appears before starting
operation. If resistance values are just off, the “341” error codes will
display.
Error codes when exhaust
thermistor fails
341 (T-H2-DV only)
Diagnostic
1. Visual inspection: connection/breakage of wires and/or debris on
impeller.
2. Check voltages: proper range of values shown below.
