BOSH AQ 250 On demand propane water heater ran out of propane, got gas now, but get EC flashing on the display and the unit won't fire? Lost manual, any suggestions. Thanks, Jim

    EC and EA are ignition problems. Clean flame rod and purge any air in propane supply system.

  • Joseph Haga Nov 10, 2013

    Additionally on a propane system if you have an appliance regultor to protect the unit from overpressure (LP is 10-14" of WC) make sure it hasn't locked up and won't pass gas.Watch the regs on LP as I've had one overpressurize a Bosch 2400 and toast it beyond repair. Funny how no one including the propane supplier remembers who provided the reg for the house under construction. Also on the flame rod cleaning comment never use sandpaper use a scotchguard pad and also may need a gasket (ignition set gasket) from Bosch as the original shreds when removed with the ignitor/flame rod set and is hard to reseal the fire box.

How do i gas heater gwh 2400 ctd efs Lp

Stupid me but could you be a little bit literate in asking a question.

My dog write better questions that I can understand than this scribbling.

A GWH 2400 is the little brother of the GWH 2700 much like the 635ES. If you have an LP model be sure to use the overpressure protection valve supplied by Bosch as overpressure in LP (above 10-14" WC) can completely destroy this unit.

And you can use a TPR or PRV for 170,000+BTU being sure you get a House Pressure valve of 60-80-100 PSI+ and not the boiler PRV for 30 PSI

Beyond that your questions above states nothing recognizable as a technical question

I have a Bosch GWH 425 HNO propane Tankless Water Heater which began intermittently exploding when demand for hot water occurs.

Call a qualified service tech immediately.
Gas explosion indicates dirty combustion parts, and gas is not fully igniting when tankless turns on the gas. So gas builds up and then explodes causing serious damage to tankless, and serious risk to homeowner.

E4 code on a bosch ghw 715 control unit

Before calling service technician, open following link for Bosch troubleshooting resources:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html

Error codes are starting point for troubleshooting, and solutions vary by model and unit.
E4 is Backflow temperature sensor over 309 degrees F. Appliance will close burner and lock.
Check combustion air and backflow vent piping for blockage.
Check if secondary fan connections are disconnected.
Check venting specifications are met. Long vent lengths, venting with more than three elbows, blocked vent or combination venting may cause this failure.
Check sensor resistance
