If the control LED is not illuminated, first ensure that the control power switch is in the “ON” position. Also, check that the unit is receiving supply voltage and that it hasn't been interrupted. Turn the power on.
What does it mean when my Bradford White RG1PV40S flashes six times, then two times, with a three-second pause?
This flashing pattern suggests several potential issues: a vent blockage or improper configuration, kinked or blocked pressure switch tubing, a faulty pressure switch, the vent termination being affected by wind, the blower not spinning up to speed, the blower or exhaust temperature being too high, or a faulty blower temperature switch. Check the vent or vent tables.
What does it mean when my Bradford White RG1PV40S Water Heater flashes six times, then one time, with a three-second pause?
This flashing pattern indicates either an unstable pilot, a pilot tube that is blocked or restricted, oxidation buildup on the pilot electrode, or wire damage to the pilot assembly or a bad connection at the gas valve.
What does it mean if my Bradford White Water Heater flashes eight times, then three times, with a three-second pause?
This flashing pattern suggests that the control needs to be reset, or the control is wet or physically damaged. Try interrupting the power supply.
Why is my Bradford White RG1PV40S Water Heater showing six flashes, then three flashes, with a three-second pause?
This indicates a few possible problems: an unstable pilot, a blocked or restricted pilot tube, oxidation buildup on the pilot electrode, damaged wiring to the pilot assembly or a bad connection at the gas valve, insufficient combustion air, or gas pressure out of specification.
What does it mean if my Bradford White RG1PV40S Water Heater flashes five times, then pauses for three seconds?
This indicates that the pilot valve is stuck in the open position.
What does six flashes then four flashes mean on my Bradford White RG1PV40S Water Heater?
This indicates that the pilot valve is stuck in the open position.
What should I do if my Bradford White RG1PV40S Water Heater flashes eight times, then four times, with a three-second pause?
This indicates that the control needs to be reset or that the control is wet or physically damaged. Try interrupting the power supply to reset it.
