Hi, I've seen a few threads on this before, but mine issue seems to be a mixed bag.
I'll cover off all the issues I've had to date, and hopefully someone can help.
I inherited this pool heater when we bought the house in 2014, and I don't know how long it was used with the existing pool.
Issue 1 - 400n Fault Check IGN Control - last year
- I had this issue a few times last year, and after looking online, I cleaned the flame sensor rod and everything worked for the rest of the year
Issue 2 - turn heater on, nothing happens - last year
- Realized that the capacitor connected to the fan isn't working, and I can 'jump start" it by turning a piece with a flathead screwdriver
- Still haven't fixed this, but can jump start the fan everytime
Issue 3 - 400n Fault Check IGN Control - this year
- Cleaned the flame sensor rod - and it worked
- Then the issue came back again
- Cleaned out as much as I could inside and it on and off again works
- Up until today, if I turned off the heater and turned it back on a few times, it will eventually work
- Today not working. Don't see the flame starting through the eye hole
- On the control board I get one blinking red light after a few minutes, which I think is air flow problem
Any suggestions???
