WARNING Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury, do not store materials against the water heater or any of its components. Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact, especially by children, with the water heater and its components. Under no circumstances must flam- mable materials, such as gasoline or paint thinner be used or stored in the vicinity of this water heater or in any location in which the fumes could reach the water heater. Hydrogen gas can be

Introduction ® The Bradford White ECO-DEFENDER Safety System The Bradford White ECO-DEFENDER Safety System was designed to resist the ignition of flammable vapors that can occur outside of the water heater and produce Ultra Low NOx emissions. Use and installation are nearly iden- tical to previous versions of atmospherically fired and vented water heaters. A number of exclusive design features are incorporated in the system that will require additional knowledge on the part of the qualified

How to Use this Manual diagnostic LED will flash a code to positively identify an operational issue. This service manual is designed to facilitate problem diagnosis and enhance service efficiency. To further promote quicker service times the new gas valve can be removed and replaced with- out draining the water heater. A special tool is required and will be provided with each gas valve kit shipped from our Service Parts department. Please read the service manual completely before attempti

Tools Required Contact the Bradford White technical support group immediately if diagnosis cannot be made using the methods described in this service manual. Tools Required for Service Manometer: A liquid “U” tube type or a digital (magna-helic) type can be used. This device is used to measure gas and/or air pressure and vacuum. Multi-Meter: A digital type is strongly recommended. This device is used to measure electrical values. The meter you select must have the capability to measure volts

Sequence of Operation Power Up Sequence 1. Start-up: Upon power up, the gas control runs a safe start check with a typical delay of 5 seconds. 2. Flammable Vapor Verification: The gas control verifies that the Flamma- ble Vapor Sensor is in the proper operating range prior to energizing any components. If the sensor is within the proper range, the gas control resumes normal operation. If the Flammable Vapor Sensor is out of range, the gas control LED immediately flashes 7 times with a 3 s

Sequence of Operation Normal Heating Sequence (cont’d) 7. Main Burner Ignition: After pilot flame is sensed, the gas control acti- vates the main valve for main burner ignition. The gas control will ig- nore flame and pressure switch signals for 3 seconds to allow for the main burner to stabilize. 8. Steady State Operation: During steady state operation, the gas control monitors: Thermostat Temperature Sensor: When the setpoint temperature is sat- isfied, the gas control is shutdown, and th

Sequence of Operation Abnormal Operation (cont’d) B) If the resistance is below 3000 ohms: The gas control immediately turns off all outputs and proceeds to flash 8 times then 1 time with a three second pause. The error self clears if the resistance returns to nor- mal range for at least 15 seconds. 2.

Sequence of Operation Abnormal Operation (cont’d) B) Pressure switch or blower temperature switch failed to close: The gas control runs the blower for 30 seconds waiting for the pressure switch and/or the blower temperature switch to close. If either switch does not close in 30 seconds, the blower turns off and the control flashes 3 times with a 3 second pause. The gas control waits 2 minutes before turning on the blower for another 30 seconds to see the circuit close. This cycle repeats as

Burner Maintenance Burner Inspection At periodic intervals (every 6 months), a visual inspection should be made of the pilot and main burner for proper operation and to assure no debris is accumulating. The pilot flame should be stable. Some causes for an unsta- ble pilot flame are: a) Gas pressure is out of specification. b) Pilot flame not fully engulfing spark/flame sensor. The main burner should light smoothly from the pilot and burn with a blue flame with a minimum of yellow tips. A
