I hope this helps.

    The two blinks indicate that your water heater has hit the high limit temperature. There is a reset button to the right of the LED (red button) and Operation Mode control. After you press the reset button, the water heater should do a self test and start up in about 10 minutes. See page 10 of the page at Manage My Life. (This loads the PDF in the page if you have Adobe Reader and the plug-in for your browser. Otherwise, click on the Click here to download link below the title.)

    If the error persists, I'd suspect a problem with the unit. Parts are available here:http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdir... . (cut and paste the long URL)

    I'd check the thermostat or the thermistor.

    I hope this helps.

How to replace temperature sensor in Whirlpool water heater

Whrilpool will send information.
Copy following link for resources, including images showing temperature sensor (thermister):
http://waterheatertimer.org/Whirlpool-Energy-Smart-electric.html
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/Whirlpool-energy-smart-part.jpg

Remove cover on outside of tank.
The foam insulation is very stout, and must be cut back to access sensor located above each element.
Insulation must be put back when finished.
After insulation is cut back, it appears you can remove the sensor... I am assuming the wiring can be unplugged, or spliced. It is not possible to replace wires that run between sensor and top of tank because the foam insulation is too tight and wiring is not inside a conduit.

Register water heater

Whirlpool water heaters are made by AOSmith company, which owns American, Reliance, State, Craftmaster and makes water heaters for Kenmore and Whirlpool.
These are good heaters.

Register Whirlpool product at following link:
http://www.whirlpoolwaterheaters.com/support/warrantyreg.aspx

It is not necessary to register product for warranty to be valid.
And if you move to new home and take water heater, then warranty does not follow. So it might be disadvantageous to register product in that circumstance.

You can see brand, model number, and serial number located on label on side of tank.
The serial number is unique and is key for warranty coverage, even if you lost receipt. Serial number shows year of manufacture in first two digits.
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Find-Age-of-water-heater.pdf

It is not necessary to register water heater for warranty to be valid, as long as following applies: Original owner, single-family non-commercial residential installation, and installation that conforms to instructions shown in product manual, and water heater is maintained as shown in product manual.

If you purchased extended warranty, then remember the warranty is carried by a third party that also requires same as above.
And the warranty may be pro-rated, rendering it nearly valueless in later years.

Typical water heater warranty:
First year of warranty covers tank-parts-labor.
After first year, the warranty shrinks to tank-parts.
The math shows that shorter warranty tank has greater percentage of full coverage.
Convert ordinary 6 year tank into 9-12-15 year tank by maintaining water heater. Especially cleaning air intake located on bottom of tank, inspecting anode rod to prevent rusting, and following maintenance schedule shown in product manual.

My water heater error code 1 model ee3250rd055v what does this mean

Water heater is not 100% identified.
Unknown if this is gas or electric heater.

Problem posted under Whirlpool water heaters typically made by American water heater company.
Call Whirlpool 877-817-6750.
They will ask for model number and serial number located on label on side of tank.
Call is answered in USA by trained person who can answer specifics about that model, including warranty, age, regular maintenance, error codes, and possible solution for that specific model and serial number.
I have found these folks to be helpful.

Whirlpool manuals do not show that specific model:
http://www.whirlpoolwaterheaters.com/support/manuals.aspx

If you have the energy smart electric water heater with electronic control board, then error code explanation shows on the control board. Error 1 or a single flash, is start-up failure and requires tank to be full of water. Read page 10 of manual. Make sure water heater is full of water and water is coming full stream out of tub spout before turning on power. Also disconnect power from unit, make sure water heater is full, and then reconnect power to see if unit resets.

Model # BFG1F4040S3N0V RESET BUTTON WON'T STAY LIT

You have a 6 year tank-type low-nox gas water heater
http://www.whirlpoolwaterheaters.com/products/ByCategory.aspx?id=1
Google search 'low nox' for more details about low nox type water heaters that burn fuel so less NO2 irritant is vented into atmosphere.

Owner's manual:
http://www.whirlpoolwaterheaters.com/downloads/6510397.pdf

1) You said 'reset button.' Only mention of 'reset' in manual is about FVIR flammable vapor ignition system where water heater shuts off when exposed to vapors that might catch fire or explode:
This model appears to have Whirlpool's new resettable FVIR so read instructions in manual for resetting FVIR. If FVIR will not reset using instructions, then call whirlpool at 1-877-817-6750

2) You said 'won't stay lit.' Manual has troubleshooting flowchart starting on page 24.
There are 13 items listed for pilot won't stay lit, with possible remedy for each.
There are 9 things for burner will not light, with remedies.
Call whirlpool at 1-877-817-6750

3) Save manual posted above. I install water heaters and tell everyone to read and save manual to empower them to help themselves.

4) Call a plumber for service.

5) Add a comment for more free help
