5.3 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS REMEDY
AIRFLOW ERROR
Touch Screen Message:
Error – Low Air Flow
Low combustion airow; soft
error; will retry in 5 minutes
Check fan operation • Check lead is attached at fan.
• Cycle power off/on; listen for fan initialization.
If no action, focus your attention on the fan
itself.
Check for fouled
reference lines and air
sensor
• Check clear vinyl air reference lines below
gas valve for any sign of water. After
disconnecting from black sensor, blow clear.
Check for exhaust re-ingestion, or repeated
power interruptions .
• Ensure condensate trap is not blocked.
• Go to Advanced Diagnostics and check
differential air pressure sensor (at rest and
with fan on). See Section 5.2.3.
Check achieved fan
power
In Diagnostics, Fan Operation, during Pre-
purge, Fan Pressure (FP) should move close to
Required Pressure (RP); if FP only 480 to 600
vs. RP of 1,000 to 1,200, then check for actual
vent system blockage: (a) disconnect intake
within boiler case; (b) open burner then fan/gas
valve looking for debris.
Water noise in vent.
Excess condensate in
venting.
• Check condensate trap for obstructions.
Remove obstructions and rell condensate
trap with water.
• Check vent length, size and conguration,
particularly re: horizontal 2" piping.
WATERFLOW ERROR
Touch Screen Message:
Error - No Water Flow
Low water ow – soft error; will
retry in 5 minutes
Check pressure
sensors
• Check wiring: water pressure sensors to
controller.
• Check pressure sensors. See Section 5.2.4
– 2nd paragraph.
Check for proper
piping
Refer to Section 1.6 Water Piping for
recommended piping installation.
Check primary pump If there is a valve on the primary loop, close it
and listen for cavitation (evidence ow). If not,
go to Installer Setup; select pump purge “on” to
run pumps without a heat call - check for heat
buildup at pump body (indicates no ow).
Check for restriction
in water pipe
Check temperature differential across heat
exchanger at low –medium ring rate if possible.
Examine air strainer components for scale.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair
the control module (circuit
board). If the control module
is defective, replace it
immediately.
