  If you are hearing abnormal sounds from your Bradford White Boiler during operation: * A leak of combustion gas between the sealed chamber and exhaust tube inside the unit may be the cause; call a qualified service technician for evaluation. * Ensure that the venting termination complies with specifications, as improper venting termination may be the reason. * Check the supply gas pressure is sufficient, as insufficient gas pressure will cause unstable burner flame and noise.

This condition: * Automatically resets after a few minute delay or using manual reset on control panel. * If you see a 'TEMPERATURE SENSOR' message, follow the procedure for loose connections.
