Heater wont work

[otitis]

Is it blinking or posting any codes. My hayward flashes different character and in the manual it gives you the reason for each code. It will get you started.

Did you gas supply valve get shut accidentally?

Hi,

No, I checked and the gas wasn't turned off. I tried it in both positions and got no results. I hope I put the handle back in the oringinal position. Was it up and down or horizontal?

I see no place where it could give me an error code. The control panel just has the temp knobs and the lights I previously posted. Is there a display in side that would show the error code?

Just wondering - I have not done this!!! If it is the iignition that is bad could I light and put one of those long wooden matched in there and turn on the spa? If all else is good, would it ignite and work properly? I have not done this as blowing myself up is a concern!

Thanks

Paul

The valve handle will be in line with the gas line when it's on.

Thanks , got it in the right position now. The heater still doesn't work. I am close to giving in and letting the pool store have at it ( and my wallet)

Paul,

Try turning the breaker off for the heater for a couple of minutes and then back on. I had a heater that if the gas was off when it tried to fire it would go into fault mode and would not reset unless you turned the power off to it for awhile.

Don't know if this will work, but it will only cost you a few minutes to try.
