Maximum Number of Ignition Recycles Detected
Burner flame is lost during run cycle, then re-established on ignition cycle. Check inlet gas pressure. Is gas pressure dropping below the minimum operating pressure on the rating label after the gas valve opens? Is the gas pipe size to the water heater adequate? Check the condition of the burner. Clean or replace as needed. Check the burner flame and observe the microamp output on the run cycle. Replace burner if clogged with dirt and debris. Replace spark rod or flame sensor if damaged. Check to make sure vent terminals are clear of debris or snow and ice. Make sure the condensate drain flows freely.
