Jandy Wind-Induced Flame or Pressure Disruption

Heater frequently shuts down with no code when wind is strong.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Improper vent termination, Heater installed in wind-prone location, Weak flame stability, Marginal air pressure switch setting

Safety first: Do not modify venting without following Jandy guidelines.

Observe pattern: Note if shutdowns correlate with wind direction and speed.
Check vent cap: Ensure the vent termination is the correct type and height per Jandy installation manual.
Wind shielding: Install wind baffles or barriers as recommended by Jandy to reduce direct wind impact on the vent or intake.
Professional adjustment: A technician may adjust combustion and verify flame stability to reduce wind sensitivity.
