Possible Causes
Faulty modulating gas valve, incorrect fan speed feedback, damaged modulation wiring harness, control board modulation circuit failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and gas. Combustion adjustments must be done with proper instruments.
- Inspect modulation wiring: Check the low‑voltage harness between the control board and modulating gas valve for damage or loose connections.
- Check fan speed sensor: Some Ruud boilers use fan speed feedback to control gas modulation. Inspect the fan tachometer wiring.
- Do not adjust gas valve manually: Manual adjustments without a combustion analyzer can create unsafe CO levels.
- Call a technician: E19 typically requires professional diagnosis with a manometer and combustion analyzer. The gas valve or control board may need replacement and recalibration.
