KC1000 WATER HEATER TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE – Continued

FAULT INDICATION

PROBABLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

IGN SWTCH CLOSED

DURING PURGE

1. Air/Fuel Valve not rotating



2. Defective or shorted switch


3. Switch wired incorrectly


4. Defective Power Supply Board or

fuse

5. Defective IGST Board

1. Start the unit. The Air/Fuel Valve should rotate to the purge

(open) position. If the valve does not rotate at all or does not
rotate fully open, check the Air/Fuel Valve calibration. If
calibration is okay, the problem may be in the Air-Fuel Valve or
the Control Box. Refer to qualified service personnel.

2. If the Air/Fuel Valve does rotate to purge, check the ignition

switch for continuity between the N.O. and COM terminals. If the
switch shows continuity when not in contact with the cam replace
the switch.

3. Check to ensure that the switch is wired correctly (correct wire

numbers on the normally open terminals). If the switch is wired
correctly, replace the switch

4. Check DS1 & DS2 LEDs on Power Supply Board. If they are not

steady ON, replace Power Supply Board.

5. Check “Heartbeat” LED DS1 and verify it is blinking ON & OFF

every second. If not, replace IGST Board.

IGN SWTCH OPEN

DURING IGNITION

1. Air/Fuel Valve not rotating to ignition

position.



2. Defective ignition switch


3. Defective Power Supply Board or

fuse

4. Defective IGST Board

1. Start the unit. The Air/Fuel Valve should rotate to the purge

(open) position, then back to ignition position (towards closed)
during the ignition cycle. If the valve does not rotate back to the
ignition position, check the Air/Fuel Valve calibration. If
calibration is okay, the problem may be in the Air/Fuel Valve or
the Control Box. Refer fault to qualified service personnel.

2. If the Air/Fuel Valve does rotate to the ignition position, check the

ignition position switch for continuity between the N.O. and COM
terminals when in contact with the cam.

3. Check DS1 & DS2 LEDs on Power Supply Board. If they are not

steady ON, replace Power Supply Board.

4. Check “Heartbeat” LED DS1 and verify it is blinking ON & OFF

every second. If not, replace IGST Board.

INTERLOCK

OPEN

1. Interlock jumper not installed or

removed

2. Energy Management System does

not have boiler enabled.

3. Device proving switch hooked to

interlocks is not closed.

1. Check for a jumper properly installed across the interlock

terminals in the I/O box

2. If there are two external wires on these terminals check any

Energy Management system to see if they have the units
disabled (a jumper may be temporarily installed to see if the
interlock circuit is functioning).

3. Check that proving switch for any device hooked to the interlock

circuit is closing and that the device is operational.
