    Water Temp Sensor

    I will check the wiring thoroughly If I need a control board, should I upgrade to the new 6 button? I have the old 5 button screen. Do you have a part number?

    Water Temp Sensor

    I have already disassembled the resistor. I used alligator clips to connect to the leads of the thermistor wiring as shown in other posts. I did this correctly.

    Water Temp Sensor

    I placed a 10k ohm resistor on the thermister. The heater went through the initialization (128, R13) and then briefly showed 76 then jumped to 99 and then back to 76/77 and back to 99 and stayed there. The heater never tried to start. ET shows correct water temp and the setpoint was greater than...

    Water Temp Sensor

    You are correct, it is 9.5k ohms. Heater never starts its sequence, but led shows temp bouncing around. Temp at ET shows correct water temp.

    Pentair/Letro Legend Platinum vs. Polaris 280

    I've had several Polaris cleaners in my previous home and when we purchased a new home it had a Pentair Platinum (4-wheels). By far the Platinum is better than the Polaris. It seems to clean much better, stay upright and less problems. I would buy another Platinum for sure over a Polaris.

    Mastertemp 400 heater problem

    Just to resurrect this post, I got my Gas Meter upgraded to a larger size by Centerpoint in Houston. It is a 2# reduce to heater via regulator. My heater was not working prior to the meter upgrade and it really confused me. It was working several months before, but not after about 3-4 months...

Plumber said I need a regulator at heater and also for the house. Plumber has to pull a permit before Gas company will come out to install larger meter. $90 for...

    Mastertemp 400 heater problem

    I believe the line from the meter is 1" and it is reduced to 3/4". See picture above of my heater gas line. The distance from the meter to the heater is less than 5'.

    Mastertemp 400 heater problem

    Ok, but the heater ran fine a few months ago and we don't have any issues in the house (we have gas dryer, two tankless water heaters, gas furnaces....) I will call my gas company for an upgrade.

The blower comes on, I can hear the gas valve open (smell gas) and it does not fire. It does this 3x and shuts down. My igniter shows...
