WARNING: If the information in these

instructions is not followed exactly, a fire or

explosion may result causing property damage,

personal injury, or death.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any

phone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's

phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire

department.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified

installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline or other

flammable, combustible, or corrosive vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

CAUTION

Incorrect operation of this

appliance may create a hazard to

life and property and will nullify the

warranty.

DANGER

Do not store or use gasoline or

other flammable, combustible, or

corrosive vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

IMPORTANT

Before proceeding, please inspect the

water heater and its components for

possible damage. DO NOT install any

water heater with damaged

components. If damage is evident

then please contact the supplier where

the water heater was purchased or the

manufacturer listed on the rating plate

for replacement parts.

WARNING

Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To

avoid damage or injury, do not store materials

against the water heater or vent-air intake system.

Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact

(especially by children) with the water heater and

vent-air intake components. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES MUST FLAMMABLE

MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT

THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY

OF THIS WATER HEATER, VENT-AIR INTAKE

SYSTEM OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM WHICH

FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER

OR VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE

IF YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:

Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and

natural gas have an odorant added by the gas

supplier that aids in the detection of the gas.

Most people recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or

“rotten egg” smell.

Other conditions, such as “odorant fade” can

cause the odorant to diminish in intensity, or

”fade”, and not be as readily detectable.

If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in

any way unsure of the presence of gas,

immediately contact your gas supplier from a

neighbor's telephone.

Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas

supplier, or plumbing professional, for more

information.

CAUTION

If sweat fittings are to be used DO NOT apply heat to

the nipples on top of the water heater. Sweat the

tubing to the adapter before fitting the adapter to the

water connections. It is imperative that heat is not

applied to the nipples containing a plastic liner. WARNING

FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW,

LISTED 3/4” X 3/4” TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE

RELIEF VALVE WILL RELEASE THE

MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM THAT MIGHT

RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE AND

PRESSURES.

WARNING

Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating

water heater that has not had water drawn from the

tank for a long period of time (generally two weeks or

more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To

prevent the possibility of injury under these

conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet to be

open for several minutes at the kitchen sink before

you use any electrical appliance which is connected

to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present,

there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping

through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do

not smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the

time it is open.

CAUTION

Turn off or disconnect the electrical power supply to the

water heater before servicing. Label all wires prior to

disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors

can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify

proper operation after servicing.

Introduction

The new Bradford White TTW2 & TW4 water heaters are designed to provide reliable

performance with enhanced standard features. New design features include reliable spark to

pilot ignition system, enhanced diagnostics, simplified servicing, significantly quiet operation

and additional vent lengths.

Spark to Pilot Ignition System - employing the spark to pilot ignition system promotes

reliable and consistent pilot and main burner ignitions to provide hot water on demand.

Integrated Immersion Thermostat/Gas Control Valve with LED - was developed for ease

of troubleshooting by providing simple diagnostic codes to pinpoint an installation or

component performance issue.

New Powerful Blower - will eliminate problems with difficult venting situations.

Quieter and Cooler Blower Operation - blower noise is significantly reduced for both

interior and exterior environments. Cooler operation increases blower life by reducing bearing

wear and noise.

Rugged Wiring Connections - receptacle type connections promote error free wiring.

Increased Vent Lengths - increased venting performance is achieved while maintaining

Energy Factor & FHSR performance.

The TTW2 & TW4 water heaters use a combustion system were flue gases are combined with

dilution air to reduce the flue gas temperature in the blower. The diluted flue gases are

evacuated to the exterior through low temperature vent materials. The gas control maintains

water temperature, ignition sequence and regulates gas flow. A safety circuit consisting of a

pressure switch and blower temperature switch verifies proper conditions exist for safe and

reliable operation. If a situation outside of normal operating parameters exists, the gas control

diagnostic LED will flash a code to positively identify an operational issue.

This service manual is designed to facilitate problem diagnosis and enhance service efficiency.

To further promote quicker service times the new gas valve can be removed and replaced

without draining the water heater. A special tool is required and will be provided with each gas

valve kit shipped from our Service Parts department.

Please read the service manual completely before attempting service on this new series of

power vent models.

Tools Required for Service

It is intended for this manual to be used by qualified service personal for the primary purpose of

troubleshooting and repair of the Bradford White TTW Series water heaters. Understanding the

sequence of operation section of this manual will contribute greatly to troubleshooting the water

heater.

The Honeywell WV4460E Electronic Gas Control will display error codes in the event of abnormal

operation. Error codes are listed in the troubleshooting chart beginning on page 12 of this service

manual. The troubleshooting chart will also indicate the probable cause for the error code and

direct the service professional to a service procedure to properly diagnose the abnormal operation.

In some difficult to diagnose conditions, it may be necessary to isolate the heater from the vent

system to determine the problem.

Contact the Bradford White technical support group immediately if diagnosis can not be made

using the methods described in this service manual.

Manometer: A liquid “U” tube type or a digital (magna-helic) type can be used. This

device is used to measure gas and/or air pressure and vacuum.

Multi-Meter: A digital type is strongly recommended. This device is used to measure

electrical values. The meter you select must have the capability to

measure volts AC, volts DC, Amps, micro-amps and ohms.

Electronic Probes: In some cases, standard multi-meter probes will damage or simply

not be effective to obtain certain voltage and ohm reading. It will be

necessary to have special electronic “pin” type multi-meter probes.

These probes are available at most electronic wholesale outlets.

Thermometer: Used to measure water temperature. An accurate thermometer is

recommended.

Water Pressure Gage: Used to measure water supply pressure. Also used to determine tank

pressure by adapting to the drain valve of the heater.

Gas Control Service Tool: BWC part number 239-45991-00. A specialized tool designed to remove

the gas control from gas control thermal well. Available from

your Bradford White parts supplier.

Sequence of Operation

Thermostat calls for heat.

Prior to energizing blower, gas control checks safety circuit to insure the circuit is open. Normal switch positions

in the safety circuit are as follows:

a) Pressure switch normally open.

b) Blower temperature switch normally closed.

If the safety circuit is closed, the control waits 4 seconds, gas control LED flashes 2 times with 3 second pause.

Gas control waits 2 minutes then, blower runs for 30 seconds. This cycle repeats until safety circuit opens.

Power up Sequence

1Start Up.

Upon power up, the control runs a safe-start check with a typical start-up delay of 1-5 seconds.

2Simulated Resistive Load Device Check.

To assure no outputs are energized if the “Simulated Resistive device” is out of range, the control will test the

the device for proper operating range. If the device is within range the control resumes normal operation with no

perceptible delay. If the device is out of range, the control LED immediately flashes 7 times with 3 second pause.

Normal Heating Sequence

2Blower energizes.

Pressure switch proves blower/vent system operation.

If the pressure switch does not close within 30 seconds, the control LED Flashes 3 times with 3 second pause.

The blower runs for 30 seconds every 2 minutes trying to get the pressure switch or blower temperature switch to

close. This cycle repeats as long as there is a call for heat.

Blower pre-purge period (2 seconds)

5Trial for pilot ignition (90 seconds).

a) The gas control lights the pilot by activating spark igniter and gas flow to pilot burner.

b) If flame is not sensed within 90 seconds, igniter and gas flow are deactivated, blower will post purge and

control LED flashes 6 times with 3 second pause.

6Main burner Ignition

After pilot flame is sensed, gas control activates main valve for main burner ignition. The gas control will ignore

flame and pressure switch signals for 3 seconds allowing for main burner to stabilize.

Page 9

Steady state operation.

During Steady State Operation the Control Monitors:

Thermostat temperature sensor- When set point temperature is satisfied, gas valve is shut down and

blower will post purge for 15 seconds. Control LED flashes a short flash once every 4 seconds (idle) status

code.

Pressure switch / Blower temperature switch- If either switch opens, pilot valve and main valve is shut

down. The blower continues to runs for 30 seconds attempting to close the circuit. The control LED Flashes

3 times with 3 second pause.

Flame Sensor- If flame is lost, pilot & main valve are shut down, blower runs for 15 seconds. Control attempts

to re-light pilot 4 times. If unsuccessful, Blower is shut down and control proceeds to 5 minute lockout. Control

re-attempts to light pilot starting at normal heating sequence #2.

Thermostat satisfies.

Burner off.

Blower post purge (15 seconds).

Sequence of Operation

Abnormal Operation

1. Simulated Resistive Device Fault:

a) If the resistance is greater than 70,000 Ohms - the gas control immediately turns off all outputs. Control waits

and monitors resistance for 30 seconds. If the resistance is greater than 70,000 ohms after 30 seconds, the

gas control proceeds to verify resistive delay for 2 minutes and flashes 8 times then once with a three second

pause. This process is repeated 5 times until the control either returns to normal operation or proceeds to flashing

7 times with a 3 second pause.

b) If the resistance is below 3000 ohms - The gas control immediately turns off all outputs and proceeds to flash

8 times then once with three second pause. The error self clears if the resistance returns to normal range for at

least 15 seconds.

Normal Heating Sequence (cont.)

2. Temperature Sensor Fault:

a) Temperature sensor detected open circuit - The gas control Immediately turns off all outputs and proceeds to

flash 8 times then twice with three second pause. The error self clears if the fault clears for at least 15 seconds.

b) Temperature sensors not reading the same temperature within ±5.5 °F - The gas control Immediately turns off

all outputs and proceeds to flash 8 times then three times with three second pause. The error self clears if the fault

clears for at least 15 seconds.

c) Water temperature in excess of TCO (Temperature Cut Off) limit - The gas control immediately turns off pilot &

main valve and proceeds to flash 4 times with 3 second pause. Blower continues to run until gas control is reset.

Power needs to be cycled to remove gas control from TCO lockout.

Page 10

Sequence of Operation

Abnormal Operation (cont.)

3. Pressure Switch/Blower Temperature Fault:

a) Pressure switch closed at start of call for heat - The gas control waits four seconds then, proceeds to flash

2 times with 3 second pause. The control waits 2 minutes and then turns on blower for 30 seconds. The blower

turns off after 30 seconds and the control waits for pressure switch to open. Any time the Pressure switch opens,

the blower turns on (or stays on) and the control proceeds to waiting for pressure switch to close.

b) Pressure switch or blower temperature switch failed open - The gas control runs the blower for 30 seconds

waiting for the pressure switch and/or blower temperature switch to close. If either switch does not close in 30

seconds, the blower turns off and the control flashes 3 times with 3 second pause. The gas control waits two

minutes before turning on the blower for another 30 seconds to see the circuit close. This cycle repeats as long as

there is a call for heat or until the circuit closes.

c) Pressure switch or blower temperature switch opens during burner operation - The gas control turns off the

pilot and main valve, runs blower for 15 seconds (inter-purge) waiting for pressure switch and/or blower

temperature switch to close. If either switch fails to close, the control proceeds as described in 3b above. If the

circuit closes again by the end of the inter-purge, the recycle counter is incremented, if the recycle count has

not reached its limit (4), another trial for ignition begins. If the recycle count has been reached, the gas control

turns off the blower and flashes 6 times then 2 times with 3 second pause. The gas control waits 5 minutes before

repeating ignition sequence.

4. Trial For Ignition Fault:

a) Pressure switch opens during trial - The gas control turns off igniter and pilot valve. The gas control proceeds

as described in 3b above. If the pressure switch closes within 30 seconds the gas control will continue with trial for

ignition starting at blower pre-purge.

b) Flame Not Sensed - The gas control energizes the spark igniter attempting to light the pilot and prove flame. If

flame is not sensed within 90 seconds, the igniter turns off, the pilot valve is closed and the gas control runs the

blower through post purge and flashes 6 times then once with 3 second pause. The control waits 5 minutes before

repeating the ignition sequence.

5. Flame Sensing Fault:

b) Flame lost during run - The gas control turns off pilot and main valves, runs blower for 15 seconds (inter purge).

The gas control increments the recycle count, if the recycle count has not reached its limit (4), another trial for

ignition begins. If the recycle count has been reached, the gas control turns off the blower and flashes 6 times

then 3 times with 3 second pause. The gas control waits 5 minutes before repeating the ignition sequence.

c) Flame sensed out of sequence - the gas control only looks for pilot flame when the blower is running. If flame is

present when the pilot valve is not open, the gas control proceeds to wait for flame loss and flashes 5 times with 3

second pause. This continues until flame is lost, once the flame signal is lost, the control flashes 6 times then 4

times with 3 second pause. The control waits 5 minutes before repeating the ignition sequence.

Step 1. With main burner in operation, remove outer jacket door and slide inner door from left to right to open.

Step 2. To adjust for proper burning, loosen the air shutter nut, rotate the air shutter to close the opening in the

burner, then slowly rotate the air shutter open until flame becomes as blue as possible with a minimum of

yellow tips. Tighten the air shutter nut.

Too much air will cause the flame to lift off the burner ports and create noisy burner operation.

Too little air will result in soot formation.

Step 3. Close inner door and observe burner operation. Burner should operate as adjusted in step 2. If not,

repeat air shutter adjustment compensating for proper burner operation with inner door closed.

At periodic intervals (every 6 months) a visual inspection should be made of the pilot and main burner for proper

operation and to assure no debris is accumulating.

Pilot flame should be stable, some causes for an unstable pilot flame are:

a) Water heater vent is less than the allowable vent length.

b) Gas pressure is out of specification.

c) Pilot flame not fully engulfing spark/flame sensor.

Main burner should light smoothly from pilot and burn with a blue flame with a minimum of yellow tips.

Steel burner models self adjust air to gas ratio mixture and do not have an adjustable air shutter. Cast iron burner can

have the gas and air mixture properly proportioned by adjusting the air shutter on the mixer face of the main burner

(see cast iron burner adjustment below).

Main burner must be free from any debris accumulation that may effect burner operation (see burner cleaning

procedure on page 15).
