Question about Sta Rite Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm Low NOx Pool and Spa Heater - 333K BTU Heavy Duty / Natural Gas
Im Having an issue that the trouble shooting flow sheets don't address. The heater ignites but shuts off within a second or two. The AFS light flashes briefly as does the service heater light but neither stay on. If I obstruct the air intact with my hand the AFS light comes on and stays on. The blower stays on through out the sequence and the exhaust is not obstructed either. Every now and then the heater does stay on but it might be only every 20-30 times it tries to cycle.

Try cleaning the baskets and make sure the filter is clean.This will usually fix the problem. Then open front access panel anddisconnect the pressure switch which the sensor connected to the end of a brasstube, touch the ends together in order to bypass the pressure switch, if itworks as normal when doing this then it is just a bad switch, you have tochange the switch. Secondlyif the heater ignites, and the flame sensor is faulty, it will shut down immediatelyas a safety measure. Follow this link, it may help you "http://www.pentairpool.com/pdfs/MaxEThermOM.pdf".

Look on the wiring diagram inside the access panel or near the access panel. There should be notes on the bottom of the diagram telling you what the error codes mean (error codes are your flashing yellow lights). Let me know if the description on the wiring diagram is not obvious. -Mark

That will usually be when to much air comes into the chimney that results in the flame going out, or, the blower assembly is not good anymore which will result in less air flowing thru the boiler.
I solved the chimney issue with raising the chimney above my outside wall (if it isn
