A.O. Smith BTX-100/GDHE-50 – Flame Detect Error

The control system has detected flame sensing current out of sequence.

The burner has not shut down properly. Check gas valve for 100% closure. Check for flame candling after the heating cycle has ended through the Burner View Port, see page 11.

If burner flame is candling after the heating cycle has ended – replace gas valve assembly, see gas valve removal procedure page 15.
