What to do if my Schwank Heater shows error code 1 (ionization error during start)?
- HHayley GallagherAug 9, 2025
If your Schwank Heater displays error code 1, indicating an ionization error during start, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the gas line to ensure it is properly vented and that the gas cock is open. Other potential causes include a faulty gas valve (which would need replacement), damaged or dirty ignition and ionization electrodes (inspect, clean, or replace them), an incorrect gas throttling screw setting (adjust it accordingly), or poor grounding (ensure proper grounding of the system).
