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 TTW1, 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 TTW1, 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.

How to Use This Manual
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 13 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:
Multi-Meter:
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.
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.

2
Start Up.
Upon power up, the control runs a safe-start check with a typical start-up delay of 1-5 seconds.
Simulated Resistive 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.
1
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.

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.
Trial 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.
6
Main 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.

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.

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.
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 twice 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.

Sequence of Operation
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. Trail 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.

TTW SERVICE PROCEDURE I
Burner Operation Inspection,
Adjustment, Cleaning and Replacement
Burner Inspection and Air Shutter Adjustment.
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).
Cast Iron Burner Air Shutter Adjustment
WARNING
Inner door and burner components may be HOT when performing this operation. Take
necessary precaution to prevent personal injury.
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.

WARNING
Stored water may be HOT when performing the following steps in this procedure.
Take necessary precaution to prevent personal injury.
Determine Water Temperature Inside Tank
Note: It is important to understand once the resistance for the thermal well is determined from page 24, water flow
through the heater should not occur. Prior to performing the steps below, turn off the cold water supply to the
water heater. This will prevent cold water flow into the tank affecting the resistance value of thermal well.
Step 1.
Step 2.
Position gas control power switch to “OFF” position.
Draw approximately 4 gallons of water from drain valve into a container and discard. Draw an
additional gallon and immediately measure water temperature using an accurate thermometer. It may
be necessary to open a hot water faucet to allow heater to drain.
Step 3.
Using the chart below, determine correct resistance value for the water temperature from step 2.
Example:
If temperature of water is 84°F, then the resistance through the sensor would be
8449 (see shaded area). NOTE: Sensor resistance increases as the temperature
falls.
