Introduction

The Bradford White eF Series®Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater uses a low

Nox premix power burner located at the top of the water heater to direct a turbulent

flame down into a submerged combustion chamber. This turbulence causes a

thorough mixing of gas and air for optimum combustion. The combustion gases

then travel through a three pass flue system keeping the gases moving at a high

velocity. The combination of high turbulence and velocity results in an optimum

transfer of heat from the flue gases into the water.

Burner operation is controlled using an electronic ignition module. The module

monitors the status of the electronic thermostat, vent temperature limit switch, vent

system pressure switches and a flame sensor to control output voltage to blower

motor, hot surface igniter/spark rod and gas valve. The module contains

programming which determines the sequence of operation and timings for purge

periods, trial for ignition, flame sensing and lockout. The module will also provide

diagnostic information to help in determining the cause of system lockouts.

The contents in this manual are detailed informational tools to assist in the proper

diagnosis of the eF Series®Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater operational faults.

Please read this service manual completely and provide as much information

regarding the eF Series®Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater operation and

installation specific concerns.

The Bradford White eF Series®Ultra High Efficiency Water Heater is designed to

deliver a remarkable thermal efficiency rating in a quiet running unit with venting

options that allow for installation flexibility. Several technologically advanced

design features are incorporated in the design that will require additional

knowledge on the part of the qualified service provider. The information in this

manual will instruct service and maintenance professionals on the function, proper

diagnosis and repair of The Bradford White eF Series®Ultra High Efficiency Water

Heater.

Tools Required for Service

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

of troubleshooting analysis and repair of the Bradford White eF Series®Ultra High

Efficiency Water Heater. Understanding the sequence of operation section of this manual will

contribute greatly to troubleshooting this product.

An “Installation Check List” is shown towards the end of this manual. Compare the installation

against the installation check list to confirm all requirements are met.

An “eF Service Report” is shown towards the end of this manual. Completing this form will

assist in the troubleshooting efforts. Should you need to call for technical support, Please

provide the information shown on this form to the support technician to insure accurate

troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting begins with “System Observation” to determine failure mode as indicated by

the LED status of the ignition module. Troubleshooting continues with “Failure Modes and

Probable cause” directing the service provider to a series of test procedures to determine

root cause of failure. Component replacement procedures directly follow the test procedures

for a given component.

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

vent system to determine root cause.

Contact Technical support immediately if diagnosis is not determined using the methods

described in this service manual.

Manometer: Two types available, a liquid “U” tube type or a digital (magna-helic)

type. This device is used to measure gas and/or air pressures 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.

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.

Jumper Leads: A length of wire (12" min.) with alligator clip at both ends.

Various Hand Tools: Pipe wrench, channel locks, open end wrench set, 12" crescent wrench,

Allen wrench set, torx bit set, screw drivers (common & phillips), long

reach (12") magnetic tip phillips head screw driver #2 tip, ¼" nut driver,

pliers (common & needle nose), socket set including a 1-1/16 deep well

socket, wire cutters, wire strippers, wire crimpers, torpedo level, small

shop vac, step ladder, and flashlight.

Attractive digital water heater display on control panel for setting and displaying the

temperature setpoint. Pressing temperature UP and DOWN buttons changes the

temperature setpoint. Same water heater display used on all models. Temperature

format may be displayed in °F or °C.

Single control board with plug in wiring controls temperature, ignition, and blower

operation.

Reduced number of parts for servicing and wiring.

Plug in wiring reduces chance of miswirng.

Burner ignition with direct spark ignition - A high voltage spark jumps from the spark rod to

the burner surface to ignite the gas. Eliminates burned out hot surface igniter

replacements.

Water heater display will show diagnostic codes in the event the water heater needs

servicing. Aids in diagnosing and servicing the water heater.

Water heater display can show previous error code history to further aid in servicing the

water heater.

Vent Tables

Notes:

1) Multiply the total number of 90° elbows (intake and exhaust) by 5 feet. Do not include the

termination fittings or 3" condensate elbow.

2) Multiply the total number of 45° elbows (intake and exhaust) by 2 ½ feet.

3) Add this to the total length of straight pipe - intake and exhaust.

4) The sum total of all elbows and straight pipe - intake and exhaust must not exceed maximum

lengths from tables above.

Example: EF100T199

A 3" Balanced Direct vent system has 30 feet of straight exhaust pipe and 30 feet of straight intake pipe.

It has 3- 90° elbows in the exhaust and 3- 90° elbows in the intake. It has 1- 45° elbow in the exhaust and

1- 45° elbow in the intake.

Therefore:

6- 90° elbows x 5 feet = 30 feet.

2- 45° elbows x 2½ feet = 5 feet.

60 feet of straight pipe + 30 feet + 5 feet = 95 feet.

System is within “Maximum Combined Length” from table above.

WARNING! The EF100T250 and EF100T300 models are not approved

for 2 inch diameter vent pipe. Venting with 2 inch pipe on these

models may result in damage to the water heater or cause an unsafe

condition. DO NOT use 2 inch Vent or Air Intake Pipe on EF100T250/

300 models.

1Thermostat calls for heat.

-Prior to energizing blower, ignition module checks safety circuits for normal switch positions:

a) Vent temp switch normally closed.

b) Intake pressure switch normally closed.

c) Exhaust pressure switch normally open.

If the vent temp switch is open, the control waits indefinitely for temp switch to close (green light stays on).

If the exhaust pressure switch contacts are closed (not in normal position), the ignition module will wait 45 seconds for

pressure switch contact to open before energizing blower. If after 45 seconds and pressure switch contacts do not open,

the ignition module locks out with the PURGE light flashing indicating pressure switch fault.

2Blower energizes.

3Pressure switch proves blower/vent system operation.

If the N.O. contacts of the exhaust pressure switch do not close within 5 minutes of the blower being on,

the control locks out with the PURGE light flashing indicating pressure switch fault.

4Blower pre-purge period (5 seconds) indicated by the PURGE LED on the module.

5Igniter warm up (18 seconds), indicated by the IGNITER LED on the module.

6Trial for ignition (4 seconds, three trials).

a) Flame establishing period (2.5 seconds) gas valve and igniter on, indicated by the IGNITER and VALVE LED

on the module.

b) Burner on, flame proving period (1.5 seconds, looking for minimum of 1 micro amps), indicated by the FLAME

& VALVE LED on the module.

7Steady state operation.

Ignition module monitors:

- Thermostat circuit.

- When thermostat opens, gas valve is shut down and post purge begins.

- Safety circuit.

- If vent temp switch opens, gas valve is shut down, system will post purge and wait for switch to close before

attempting re-ignition.

- If either pressure switch opens, Gas valve is shut down, Blower is shut down for 30 seconds after which blower

is re-energized and system attempts re-ignition starting at pressure switch proving mode.

-Flame sensor circuit.

- If flame is lost, gas valve is shut down, system will post purge and system attempts

re-ignition starting at pressure switch proving mode.

Thermostat satisfies.

Burner off.

Blower post purge (15 seconds).
