Explanation: This LED monitors the ECO loop in the tank
water, the low water cut off switch and the vent over
temperature switch. LED is ON when all three of these safety
devices are normal. The loop is electrically closed.
At a minimum, check the following:
1. Water temperature
2. Vent temperature at exhaust coupling
3. Low water level in tank
Follow this process in sequence: Recycle power to
the water heater. If the blower does not come on, go to step #1; if the blower is does come on, go
to step #2.
