    Another Pool Heater Hayward h400idl - IF ignition failure error

    So I had pro come out. Replaced ignitor. Did not work. Rechecked all pressure with house hvac running and all gas components working as expected. Pro was in contact with Hayward to diagnose. All typical wear parts were working as expected. Heat exchanger, flame sensor, burners, regulators...

    You can just pull it. Turn gas inlet from the ground off. Remove ignitor and turn on heater to begin cycle. You will be able to see the end of the ignitor turn red hot. Of course wait till cool before trying to put back in place. I did this. Mine tested 14 ohms. And it got red hot during cycle...

    Updated signature. Attaching images of outside gas supply, exterior gas inlet, cleaned manifold. When heater guy comes back will turn on house heat and test again. I believe the unit / piping is around 10 years old. I know there is some corrosion on the main supply line. I have alerted Gas...

    I cleaned off flame sensor. Thought that was it. The connection spade had rust. I wire brushed it all off and tried again. No go. Still cycles. Heater guy has not come back yet to help. Any other ideas? This thing can’t be that complicated... FYI Ground looked brand new. No rust and strong...

    I think I can do both of those myself, will try tomorrow. He is coming back Monday and may be comes up with other ideas if that does not work. Truly thanks for all the advice. Now I just gotta know what is the deal with this thing.

    Got a guy to come out and test. He tested 9WC inlet and 3WC outlet. Adjusted slightly. He said gas valve and regulator were working as expected. Thoroughly cleaned manifold and burner tubes. Worked for a few hours. Today I fired it up and it went through the three cycles and IF again. No...

    Ok so I pulled the ignitor and ran a cycle. It burned red HOT. So definitely not the ignitor. Where is the pilot light? Is that something different, should I pull that and clean it? Any other ideas?

    I definitely cannot see the pilot light, where should I be looking, is there a peep hole or something? I doubt it, I see no flames or heat anywhere. I am about to pull the ignitor and see if it gets hot.

    Will try this today. Thank you. I hope it’s ignitor I believe I am capable of replacing that. Seems straightforward. Will reply with results.

    Another Pool Heater Hayward h400idl - IF ignition failure error

    Cleaned throughout. used pipe cleaner to clean out burner holes and manifold valves and all orifices. Still no go. I don't smell any gas around the manifold during cycles. I believe I am smelling gas from the rear blower exhaust. I am worried its the gas valve unit (seems very hard to find...
