Raypak Pool Heaters Error Codes

If you're looking for help fixing your Raypak Pool Heaters, look no further! Our comprehensive Raypak Pool Heaters error code guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

CODE: BD1  
PROBLEM: Board failure.  
FIX:
1. If this code appears and stays on, turn off power to board at toggle switch and source, then re-establish power. 
2. If code reappears, replace board as the main processor failed to start. 

CODE: EEP  
PROBLEM: Indicates that memory failed to start on main processor.  
FIX:
1. Turn off power at toggle switch and source, then re-establish power. 
2. If code reappears, replace board as memory has failed. 

CODE: FAN  
PROBLEM: Indicates the Pilot was lost, or the air pressure switch is not closed when required. 
FIX: 
1. Check for correct incoming power at fan relay- 120V or 240V and at fan motor. 
2. If pilot is confirmed, check for 24V minimum out of fan relay to pressure switch. 
3. If switch does not make when fan is operating, verify the tuning between fan housing and switch is connected and is not kinked. 
4. Soft lock out after 3 attempts - automatically resets after 5 minutes. 

CODE: FFL  
PROBLEM: Indicates a false flame signal.  
FIX:
1. Check to see if pilot is staying lit after CFH is satisfied. If pilot stays lit, the pilot valve in the gas valve is hanging open. Replace gas valve. 
2. If gas valve is working properly, problem lies with the pilot system or board. Turn power off at toggle switch. 
3. Unplug ignition wire from board and pilot and remove green ground wire from burning tray. Clean and reconnect ground wire. 
4. Turn power on. If no spark at ignition module, turn power off and replace the PC board. 
5. If you saw a spark at Ignition Module, turn off the power and reconnect wires. 
6. Turn power on and unit should fire. 

CODE: GVC  
PROBLEM: No power detected at PV or MV when commanded.  
FIX:
1. Turn power OFF and disconnect Ignition Wire and Gas Valve wires from board. 
2. Power ON and watch for spark at module. 
3. If no spark, turn power OFF, and replace board. 
4. If spark is observed, turn off power and reconnect wires. The unit should fire. 
5. If unit does not fire and code reappears, power OFF, disconnect valve wires from board and remove MV, PV, and ground wires. Clean and reconnect. 
6. If unit does not fire, replace the gas valve. 

CODE: GVO  
PROBLEM: Power found at either PV or MV at the incorrect time.  
FIX:
1. Turn power OFF and disconnect Ignition Wire and Gas Valve wires from board. 
2. Power ON and watch for spark at module. 
3. If no spark, turn power OFF, and replace board. 
4. If spark is observed, turn off power and reconnect wires. The unit should fire. 
5. If unit does not fire and code reappears, power OFF, disconnect valve wires from board and remove MV, PV, and ground wires. Clean and reconnect. 
6. If unit does not fire, replace the gas valve. 
7. Low power to transformer can cause a GVO fault. 

CODE: HL1  
PROBLEM: The high-limit has exceeded 135F.  
FIX:
1. Possible excessive water temperature in the tube bundle. Once heater cools, high limits resets automatically. 
2. Check for blockage in tubes. 
3. Check for low water flow. 
4. Check Unitherm governor - replace if necessary. 
5. check bypass assembly - replace spring or bypass if necessary. 

CODE: HL2  
PROBLEM: The high-limit has exceeded 135F.  
FIX:
1. Possible excessive water temperature in the tube bundle. Once heater cools, high limits resets automatically. 
2. Check for blockage in tubes. 
3. Check for low water flow. 
4. Check Unitherm governor - replace if necessary. 
5. check bypass assembly - replace spring or bypass if necessary. 

CODE: IGN  
PROBLEM: Ignition failure.  
FIX:
1. If the unit fails to hold a flame after 3 attempts, it will go into a hard lockout. Interrupt the power supply to clear the lockout and check for air in the gas line or not enough gas pressure. 
2. IGN only appears after pilot has proved and main valve has been powered. 

CODE: ILO  
PROBLEM: Ignition lockout. (Propane units only).  
FIX:
1. The heater has performed too many attempts to ignite the main burner and will take a short break. 
2. Inspect pilot assembly. 
3. If pilot assembly is OK, then the culprit may be your PC board. 

CODE: PRS  
PROBLEM: Low water pressure  
FIX:
1. Check water levels at skimmer face. (should be middle of skimmer face). 
2. Ensure pump is running. 
3. Check filter pressure. Backwash if necessary. 
4. Check heater location- if more than 5 feet above or below water level- adjust pressure switch. 

CODE: ROL  
PROBLEM: Thermal fuse tripped inside heater due to excessive heat or flame roll-out detected.  
FIX:
1. Possible downdraft of burner flame. If sensor has red reset button, press button & determine cause. 
2. Does your unit need a high wind stack? 
3. Check wiring for burns- especially the ground wire and wires at gas valve. 
4. Replace wires if necessary. 

CODE: SNS  
PROBLEM: Temperature sensor is out of acceptable range.  
FIX:
1. Water temperature is below 36F or above 110F 
2. If the two thermistors are more than 2 degrees apart, the SNS code will appear. 
3. Loose or corroded connection at P1. 
4. If the sensor is not mounted all the way into the JACO fitting on the header, it may give a false reading.

Having worked in the swimming pool business for over 13 years I can say this is the best heater you can buy. I've worked on many heaters including ones made by Teledyne Laars, Pentair, Sta-rite, Jandy, and Hayward. These are the reasons why I recommend this heater in my business: it has a simplistic, easy-to-work-on design with less wiring and moving parts. This is important because mice and insects destroy all of the heaters I mentioned at a faster rate. Raypak actually seals the computer board in a compartment that is almost impregnable. When something does go wrong the diagnosis is much simpler because there are fewer wires and parts. Frankly just about every other heater I work on is a complete nightmare in the wiring department. Over the years Raypak is the only company I've seen make meaningful changes to their product namely, protecting the delicate computer board and decreasing the size of the power supply.

As far as I'm concerned Raypak makes a really great pool heater. I just replaced a nearly 20yr old Raypak with a new Raypak 406k and absolutely love it! It is still one of the easiest to hook into a compool or aqualink control system, digital interface with precise target temp control (unlike a millivolt unit that is hard to dial in your temp with any accuracy). My father replaced his Raypak about a year before I did and his was about 17yrs old. His unit stays in direct sunlight while mine is always under shade, not sure if that is why I got extra years or not. I talked my brother in-law into replacing his 4yr old extremely troublesome and expensive Teledyne Laars with a Raypak, going on 8yrs now and not a single problem. I would give this product 10 stars if I could to offset the very unfair 1 star that the other guy left over a service dispute that was likely his fault to begine with, or perhaps a bad apple, either way Raypak is worth more than 1 star in my opinion.

Purchased a Hayward RAYPAK 266k BTU natural Gas Pool heater with digital ignition from INYOPOOLS about a month ago. Had it professionally installed. Nothing but trouble since. Very hard to light off the burners (the display’s favorite phrase is “Ignition Failure.” On those occasions when it does light it screams like a “BANSHEE.” Contacted INYO and they brushed me off to the manufacturer. Contacted Hayward and they said it was an install problem. Got the installer to talk to Hayward and then come out to look and fiddle with a “by-pass?” Still screams when lit but the noise goes away after a few minutes. The ignition failures persist. Extremely disappointed in this product and Hayward/Raypak. Would not recommend.
