KC1000 WATER HEATER TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE – Continued

FAULT INDICATION

PROBABLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

FFWD TEMP

SENSOR FAULT

1. Loose or broken

wiring.

2. Defective Sensor.

3. Incorrect Sensor.

1. Inspect feed forward (BTU transmitter) sensor for

loose or broken wiring.

2. Check resistance of sensor to determine if it is within

specification.

3. Ensure that the correct sensor is installed.

FLAME LOSS

DURING RUN

1. Worn Flame Detector

or cracked ceramic.

2. Defective Differential

Regulator.

3. Poor combustion

calibration.

4. Debris on burner.

5. Blocked condensate

drain.

1. Remove and inspect the Flame Detector for signs of

wear or cracked ceramic. Replace if necessary.

2. Check gas pressure readings using a gauge or

manometer into and out of the Air/Fuel Valve to

ensure that the gas pressure into and out of the valve

is correct.

3. Check combustion calibration. Adjust as necessary.
4. Remove the burner and inspect for any carbon or

debris. Clean and reinstall.

5. Remove blockage from condensate drain.

HEAT DEMAND

FAILURE

1. The Heat Demand

Relays on the

Ignition/Stepper

(IGST) board failed to

activate when

commanded

2. Relay is activated

when not in Demand

1. Press CLEAR button and restart the unit. If the fault

persists, replace IGST Board.

2. Defective relay. Replace IGST Board.

HIGH EXHAUST

TEMPERATURE

1. Defective exhaust

sensor.

2. Carboned heat

exchanger due to

incorrect combustion

calibration

1. Measure the actual exhaust temperature and

continuity of the exhaust sensor. If the exhaust

temperature is less than 500

o

F and the exhaust

sensor shows continuity replace the sensor.

2. If exhaust temperature is greater than 500

o

F, check

combustion calibration. Calibrate or repair as

necessary.

HIGH GAS

PRESSURE

1. Incorrect supply gas

pressure.

2. Defective Supply

Regulator or Wrong

Style Regulator

1. If using a non-lock up style regulator for the gas

supply, measure static gas pressure downstream, it

should be 14”WC or less. Adjust as necessary.

2. If gas supply pressure cannot be lowered, a lock-up

style regulator may be required or the supply regulator

may be defective.
