What to do if there is a problem with the internal microcomputer of my Giant PV1 Water Heater?
If there is a problem with the internal microcomputer: * Turn off the power to the water heater for 10 seconds and then back on. * If the error persists, replace the gas control valve.
What does it mean if there is a problem with the internal circuit of my Giant PV1 Water Heater?
If there's an issue with the internal circuit: * Turn off the power to the water heater for 10 seconds and then back on. * If the error persists, replace the gas control valve.
What to do if the water temperature sensor is open or short-circuited in my Giant PV1 Water Heater?
If the water temperature sensor is open or short-circuited: * Check that all of the wiring is correct and that there are no open or shorted circuits. * If no wiring problems are found, the gas control valve must be replaced.
What to do if the self-diagnostic test finds a problem with the flammable vapour sensor on my Giant PV1?
If the self-diagnostic test indicates a problem with the flammable vapour sensor: * Check that all wiring is correct and that there are no open or shorted circuits. * If no wiring problems are found, the flammable vapour sensor must be replaced.
Why is the access door temperature high limit switch tripping on my Giant PV1?
The access door temperature high limit switch might be tripping because: * There is not enough draft from the venting system: Check for any obstruction in the chimney and ensure it's properly sized and installed. * There is not enough fresh air for combustion: Supply make-up air. Refer to the installation instructions. * The ambient air temperature is too high: Reduce the ambient air temperature. * There is excessive dirt, dust, or debris on the flame arrestor: Clean the flame arrestor in the combustion chamber using a stiff brush, compressed air, and/or a vacuum cleaner.
What to do if a temperature adjust button is stuck on my Giant Water Heater?
If a temperature adjust button is stuck: * Ensure no objects are leaning against the front of the control. * Lightly press and release each button once. * If the issue persists, the control will regulate the water temperature at the last setting, but you won't be able to change settings unless you replace the gas control valve.
Why does the water from my Giant PV1 smell bad?
If the water smells bad, it could be due to a high sulfate or mineral content. Try changing the magnesium anode to an aluminum anode and bleaching the tank.
Why does the flame burn at the orifice of my Giant PV1?
If the flame burns at the orifice, it may be due to: * Low gas pressure: Check with your gas utility company. * A defective gas control valve: Replace with a new gas control valve.
What to do if the gas control valve fails to shut-off on my Giant PV1 Water Heater?
If the gas control valve fails to shut off, it could be due to: * A defective gas control valve: Replace with a new gas control valve. * Improper calibration: Replace the gas control valve.
Why is my Giant PV1 Water Heater smoking and forming carbon (sooting)?
Smoking and carbon formation can be caused by: * Insufficient secondary air: Provide fresh air ventilation. * Low gas pressure: Check with your gas utility company. * A yellow, lazy burner flame: Refer to the section on 'The burner flame is yellow and lazy'. * A clogged flue: Clean the flue, and check for and correct the source of the trouble. * A defective gas control valve: Replace with a new gas control valve. * Installation in a confined area: Provide fresh air ventilation.
