From your observations if the ignitor is glowing after warmup time listed on the igniton control and the click you hear is the gas valve solenoid opening ( confirmed by voltage measured at the gas valve or lightly holding fingers on gas valve when it powers up ) then you could have either a...

Something seems to be off. Main breaker for pool heater tripped? Is there any other equipment on the breaker besides the heater? Transformer shorted? Transformers fail when the primary winding (thinner wire and more turns in the winding) fails (open or shorted) due to a short in the secondary...

Problem appears to be on the far left hand burner. From what I can see in the manual, the pilot assembly is on the far right hand side. I believe that this is an atmospheric heater ( no fan/blower assist ). This heater is designed so that gas at the correct pressure leaves the gas manifold...

Never bypass safeties. They are there for a reason. If you have a significant voltage drop across the safety, replace the safety.

1 Flash on the ignition control is an airflow fault because the blower is not starting. This only tells you that there is a problem in the 24V circuit (airflow switch is not closing due to the blower not running). You need to replace the Fenwal ignition control, but also need to confirm that the...

You can check for continuity with F1/F2 disconnected but realize that you have line voltage at these contacts (turn off power when disconnecting and insulate wires when off of connections). Also note that a poor set of contacts can show continuity with power disconnected, but fail with power...

I am assuming that during the heater trying to fire up that you are getting a "check ignition control" without the fan/blower starting and everything up to that point is normal start up sequence. Do you get 24V between the ignition control GND terminal and the ignition control W terminal? If you...

Small amount of voltage seen when checking would be due to back EMF in unpowered winding.

As James mentioned, do not troubleshoot electrical unless you are both 100% comfortable and safe in doing so.

To check if both speeds are powered at the same time, disconnect the wires #1, #3 and #5 at TB1. On LO spd you should have 240V between #1 and #3 and 0V between #1 and #5 on TB1. On HI spd you should have 0V between #1 and #3 and 240V between #1 and #5 on TB1.

Looks like with a little digging I came up with your manual https://www.thespaworks.com/sites/default/files/2002_sundance_850_series_owners_manual.pdf Wiring diangram is on page 42. Looks like pump# 1 ( 2 spd ) is powered from relays above TB1 connector. LO spd is powered (1) to (3) on...

Your spa seems to have a date code indicating 2002. Sundance only seems to provide manuals back to 2011. Without wiring diagram it is difficult to tell what is going on. One might assume that pump speeds are controlled through relays. First thing that I would do is confirm correct voltage to...

Note: during the attempt of the heater to light off, you can put your hand on the gas valve and should be able to feel if the solenoid is clicking open.

This should be the manual for your heater https://images.inyopools.com/cloud/documents/universal-h-series-asme-heater-service-installation-manual.pdf . The sequence of operation for heating is listed on page 36. The gas valve is only powered for 4 seconds while attempting to light the...

Photo of cordset ground connection to heater helpful also.

Think that I may have found your manual. Does this look like it applies? HAYWARD H100ID1 INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL Pdf Download Would still like photos as requested. Does show 120V for circuit, above ground pool?

Somewhat confused by what you have stated and can't seem to find manual for your specific heater. 120V through safeties and operating controls??? Might help if you have photos of heater with panels off to see wiring, safeties and controls. Also close up photos of labels on gas valve, ignition...

How old is the heater? Also possible that dirt, corrosion or spider webs in burners or orifices are distorting the flame pattern out of the area it needs for impingement on the ignitor.

TY for the help. Installed HOM GFCI ( in same position as non GFCI ) and it seems to work without tripping. If intermittent false tripping occurs will change to Siemens. Will forgo the surge protector for now since installation would not be ideal.

Have square D HOM replacement GFCI and was wondering about the neutral connections. Understand that the neutral pigtail from the breaker goes to the neutral buss and think that no connection to the neutral buss is needed from the central neutral lug on the breaker since the original breaker is...

With a quick look I found this source that seems to allow by the foot selection https://www.nassauelectrical.com/products/18-awg-sf-2-sew-2-high-temperature-lead-wire-ul-3231-3071-200-c-black. As to crimpers, I have always found these to be the best premium crimpers "nonratchet" (but somewhat...

Hot?

Ahhhh, by Highland Hammocks State Park... has the swamp evaporated yet?

Also, I am not up to snuff on current NEC since I retired in 2011 due to Parkinsons from Agent Orange.

My house was built 2005-2006.

I am always worried about a floating shared neutral with loads from 2 different legs causing 240 volts to go to both loads.

Understand subpanel recommendations. Mentioned that I am not sure about main panel labelings. I am pretty sure that 1/3 is mislabeled as DW/GD should not be on a 2P breaker. Will have to wait until I can conveniently shut down main panel to dig into tape labels that seem to be on some of the...

Here are some photos of the subpanel and main panel. Figured I could use a square D HOM2175SB in the subpanel by changing the upper left breaker (pump/heater) to GFCI and moving to the lower right. Then installing the 2P surge protector in the upper left and putting the surge protector white...
