Maximum Number of

Ignition Recycles

Detected

Pilot flame is lost during run cycle, then restablished on ignition cycle. Check inlet

gas pressure. Is gas pressure dropping below the minimum operating pressure

on the rating label after the main gas valve opens? Is the gas pipe size to the

water heater adequate? Check the pilot shield position and condition of the

burners. Clean or replace as needed. Check the pilot flame and observe the

microamp output on the run cycle. Check the pilot tubing to the pilot and replace

if crimped or damaged. Replace pilot if wires, flame sensor, or electrode is

damaged.

64 Electronics Failure Replace control board.

High Water Temperature

(Over 200˚F)

Water temperature in tank has exceeded 200˚F. Check lower sensor. Make sure

sensor is fully inserted into the well (clip on sensor wire secures sensor in place).

Check lower and upper (where used) sensor readings. If not within

specifications, replace sensor. If sensor and wire harnesses check O.K., replace

control board.
