How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and gas. Combustion adjustments must be done by a licensed gas technician.
- Inspect burner mounting: Remove the burner access cover and verify that the burner assembly is securely fastened and properly seated against the heat exchanger.
- Clean burner: Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust and debris from the burner surface. Do not enlarge or damage burner ports.
- Check venting: Ensure intake and exhaust are not partially blocked, which can affect combustion air supply.
- Professional combustion tuning: Have a Navien-trained technician measure combustion with an analyzer and adjust gas valve settings and air-fuel ratio as required. They should also verify inlet gas pressure and manifold pressure.
