The pool temp sensor seems to be malfunctioning. The heater will not start since it shows the temp to be 200f. Can this be replace? It is a h400idl2 heater.
First, locate your filter pump. Follow the pipe coming off the top of the pump. Look for a metal hose clamp on that pipe, youll also notice a small wire running to the pipe. Remove the clamp and replace With a new 10k temp sensor
Testimonial: "Thanks for the help - that does appear to be the issue."
Look for a part called a thermistor seen here as #33 .. click on me and the picture of the unit, scroll over the numbers to see part
A cheap easy fix and a common fail also is the # 8 .also take a shop vaccuum and do some cleaning in the unit, a clean heater is a happy heater hope this helps
Yes easy replaced take off top and right side plate it is screwed into the heat exchange

Try cleaning your filter if dirty there will not be enough flow to llet heater fire. If filters clean you can try jumping the pressure switch.

BO means that you have bypassed operations. ie automation. if no automation is present then press and hold the Down arrow and Mode button for 3 seconds.

I dont know about your particular model. I do manage two Hayward 380,000 pool heaters that are natural gas fired and I have never had this problem you describe.
I also manage another dozen or so assorted other gas and propane devides. One propane device sooted so bad we had to discard it. It did this, according to the propane tech, because it couldn't breathe - there were louver type vents on the door that leads directly outside. He did, however, find a ruptured diaphram in the regulator and he replaced it. Hmmmmmm, couldn't breathe eh????
I'm not too surprised at the repair cost you cite. The exchanger is of course copper and there is the labor involved and lots of it. The age of your unit at this point is not relavent. What you do need to determine is why the unit sooted up like this. If you are gas fired, you know this is considered a clean fuel (compared to all others except electricity). What ever caused it must be repaired or you will be looking at another sooted up problem and repair ... and it will not be in three years, it could be next week.
I hope you find some value to my comments . Thanks for posting this question at FixYa.com

You didn't indicate your exact model. There are different versions of the H200 series. If it is milivolt then there is no electric, Must have correct milli-volt pilot generator. If it's electronic, check the air flow pressure switch on the combustion air.
