How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the front panel or accessing the control.

  • Step 1 – Inspect for moisture: Look for signs of water leaks or condensation near the control panel. Fix any leaks before replacing electronics.
  • Step 2 – Reseat display cable: Carefully disconnect and reconnect the ribbon cable or plug between the display and main control board.
  • Step 3 – Power cycle: Restore power and see if the display returns to normal. If not, the display or main board may be damaged.
  • Step 4 – Replace display module: If available as a separate part, replace the display/user interface with a Bradford White-approved module.
  • Step 5 – Replace control board (pro): If a new display does not resolve the issue, the main control board likely needs replacement.

Note: Protect the control area from future moisture by correcting any venting or piping issues.
