Hey everyone-
I am at a loss with my situation and looking for some help. I bought a brand new Hayward H400FDN natural gas heater about a month ago. Installed it and it fired up just beautifully. Ran for probably 5 hours and went out. Could not get it to light again the rest of the day. It would try to light 3 times and then give me the IF error. Waited a few days and did some reading online and saw some people were covering the blower fan half way with tape, so I gave that a shot. Fired right up and ran for another 4-5 hours and shut off. Again, it would attempt to light the 3 times and IF out.
I waited till the weekend and took the gas line out of the unit and made sure there was no water/debris in the line. Even vacuumed out where the line attaches to the unit. Nothing. Had friends coming over the next day and magically it light that morning, but again for only maybe 5 hours. It has been over 1 week and I can not get it to light at all now. I removed all the gas orifices and made sure they were clear. The unit only being 1 month old, they were all clear as day.
Again, the unit is brand new. 1 month old and I have only been able to have it run 5 or so times total(run times vary from 1-5 hrs). It is a natural gas unit if that makes any difference. I am planning on going to measure voltage across gas valve right now.
Any ideas?
