How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate power before accessing the fan. Do not run the heater with covers removed.

Steps:

  • Listen for fan operation: On a call for hot water, you should hear the fan start before ignition. If it is silent, suspect a fan or PCB issue.
  • Inspect fan: With power off, remove the cover and locate the fan. Check for debris, broken blades, or signs of overheating. Try rotating the fan impeller gently by hand; it should spin freely.
  • Check wiring: Ensure the fan connector is fully seated on both the fan and PCB.

Professional: Fan replacement and PCB diagnostics should be carried out by a qualified technician, as they affect combustion safety.
