Whirlpool water heater age decoders, water heater manual sources.

Our photo at page top shows an oil fired water heater with a backpressure problem and other safety concerns like a missing extension tube on that relief valve, and maybe a missing draft regulator and perhaps an oil line that is not protected from damage.

  Whirlpool Water Heater Diagnostic LED Light Codes

  The Green/Red LED light indicates the status of the electronic thermostat (See Figure 10A).
  

  • Green LED will signal normal operation. The green LED will blink 2 times per second to indicate that power is applied to the upper heating element and at a faster rate (4 times per second) to indicate that the lower heating element is powered.
  

  • Red LED will fl ash error codes. If a fault is detected by the electronic thermostat, the LED light indicator will use the red LED to indicate the fault detected.

  The flash code sequence is to consist of 1/2 second flashes of the red LED each separated by a 1/2 second off period.

  The number of fl ashes indicates the fault code number.

  (See diagnostic code chart section in this manual).

  After the last 1/2 second “on” period, the LED will remain off until a total of 5 seconds has elapsed for the fault indication cycle (there is a 5 seconds delay before the fault
  flash pattern repeats).
  
  After the 5 seconds are completed, the fault indication cycle is repeated starting with the first 1/2 second-fl ash. The fl ash sequence will be repeated as long as the fault remains.

  Only one fault can be declared at a time.
  
  NOTE: the green LED is turned off when a fault code is being displayed, even though the heater may be operating in limp mode with an element on. See diagnostic code chart section in this manual.
