What does error code E38 mean on my Bock Water Heater?
When the Bock Water Heater displays error code E38, the gas supply pressure is too low. Low supply pressure or undersized piping! see manual. Gas supply is turned off. Pressure drop due to other appliances on the same supply line. Faulty or loose wiring to switch, so check black/yellow wires.
Why is the LED status flashing red on my Bock Water Heater?
If the LED status on your Bock Water Heater is flashing red, it could be due to several reasons. It may indicate an error occurred during start-up. Reset the power to the anode power supply by resetting the power supply to the water heater. The tank might not be filled with water, so disconnect the water heater from the power supply and fill the tank with water. Check the insulation on all connecting harnesses for bare spots and check the connections at the power supply and anode terminals due to poor electrical connection between anode power supply and anode rod. Polarity may be reversed due to incorrect wiring, so refer to the wiring diagram and correct polarity. There may be a defective seal in anode bushing, with the anode rod no longer insulated from the tank. With an ohmmeter, check ...
