    Hayward H400FDN "IF" Code

    Just a quick update. The culprit was indeed the gas valve. It wasn't easy getting the old valve off, but after trying a few different pipe wrenches, I was able to get it out and get the new one in, and it fired right up!

    Hayward H400FDN "IF" Code

    Hayward H400FDN "IF" Code

    Hi, Looking for a Hayward expert to come take a look at my H400fdn. I've been trying to troubleshoot it myself and also had my pool guy take a look, but I think he's not that well versed on this heater. I'm in Northern NJ (Ramsey/Mahwah/Wyckoff) Any recommendations? Thanks!
