Bosch & Tankless LP Hot Water Heater  Logo
Bill Posted on Mar 17, 2011

I have a Bosch GWH 2400 CTD EFS NG tankless water heater. It has been installed on operating for over a year in the last several days it has an error code A3. The first two times I was able to reset it. Now after clearing the fault,the fan starts running w/o burner ignition for about 3 seconds then stops with fault A3.The manual says to check the jumper cables at the top right of the combustion section. They are securely attached. Help! Bill

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 Tankless Water HEater Model GWH 2700 ES NG with an error code of A3. I was told to push reset and the problem would be resolved. This worked several times and now it doesn't work. ...

Yes. Contact Bosch.
Error codes are considered start-point for troubleshoot.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Bosch-Tankless-water-heater.html

Tankless are complex electronic machines.
If on-site plumbers cannot figure out problem, then you need trained service technician with a service manual for your specific product, who can ohm-test the electronics.
Bosch will have a list of trained service technicians. And maybe Bosch has another step for fixing problem yourself.

Fix most tankless problems yourself, same day, for $330.

Error codes re: fan speed fan very noisy

I was looking for a service manual, which you apparently do not supply. I was not looking for someone who will charge me a fee to get information. I can get that info directly from Bosch for free. Thank you for answering. John

Bosch tankless GWH 1600 H NG won't always ignite. The igniter sparks, but doesn't always light the gas. It just clicks. When installed it lit every time, now it takes more and more tries to get it to...

The manual says to hold a match near the pilot while the ignitor is trying. It says that if the unit lights the pilot orifice may be dirty or clogged. Then the manual says to check the voltage on the igniter. It should be 1.3 volts DC minimum if it is not means the electronic control box is defective.

Let me know the status ...Kevin

The vent pipe you use is the correct size for the heater.Longer runs require bigger pipe.I also would check to see if the water is getting to hot.
