Replace Control Board on a Honeywell Gas Valve | Water Heater
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- I replaced the Honeywell gas valve control board that FAILED on my water heater. Typically, the control board in the Honeywell gas valves fail, not the gas valve themselves. I didn't want to, or need to, replace the entire gas valve, so I just replaced the control board.

Thanks! Great video. I got the Code 7 nightmare after turning my WH temp up above Hot to do some nasty wash. Tried all of the home fixes to the board, none worked. Cleaned the Thermocouple which seemed to temporarily work so I replaced it with a new one, still got the Code 7 after aa while. Next cheapest solution was to replace the Circuit Board. Followed your video step by step (including wearing rubber gloves to keep your hands clean but maybe more importantly keep static electricity off the Board) and it now works like a charm. :)
What a nicely done video. It's one of the best on RUclips. You should have been a college professor.
That's so kind of you to say. I appreciate that--truly! Happy DIYing! ;)
This video was exactly what I needed, my hot water heater gave out, had someone came out to take a look at it and they told me the hot water heater was toast. Before replacing it I came across this video, replaced the board and I am back in business. Thank you!
Tolu, what a wonderful story to hear, and you're welcome. I'm so glad the video helped you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.
Amazingly thorough video! I watched the troubleshooting video too and it got me to this point by troubleshooting and eliminating the other potential areas. About a year ago I came across your other Honeywell WH videos and they fixed those problems as they came up. They are all exceptionally informative and easy to follow! A $50 part from eBay, at your recommendation in this video, and some quality time with my maintenance savvy dad saved me the expense of purchasing a brand new water heater! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Bless your heart! You're certainly welcome. I'm always thrilled to hear that one of my videos helped someone fix their stuff and save money. Happy DIYing!
Thank you for your. I had a local gas company come out for my water heater and they said it was leaking gas through the temperature control valve I'm thinking maybe there's an o-ring or something that went bad but in order to buy a new one I have to buy a whole new control valve which is like $400 can you just replace the organs that are bad
Edit: it works! I've never been so happy to hear a water heater come on.
Thanks for all the videos you've posted covering this. If nothing else I've learned a lot about how water heaters work.
Checking everything, I'm left with the control board being the issue. I have a propane State Water Heater. It's a weird model number on the last four digits (WV8840B5077). Maybe because it's propane? -I'm just gonna roll the dice and hope one of the other WV8840 boards work since I can't afford the $150-$200 a new whole control assembly cost.- I found a Resideo that was meant for propane and it had the same model number, so I went with it.
Our hot water heater is in an outbuilding, for some reason, so if it explodes it'll only take out the shed lol.
So I just wanted to say you are amazing. We followed your troubleshooting videos step by step and it worked.ultimately found the thermoswitch had tripped. Likely from the amount of debris inside the protective shell on our heater which is outside. Wish we had heard you say the part about holding the pilot button in until the lights blink earlier might have saved us a few steps.
Thanks a lot of posting all these videos, I used a couple of em to diagnose my control board going out. Saved me a couple hundred bucks by buying a new board off ebay and doing it myself. Take care miss!
You're welcome, Carson. Thank you for taking the time to leave me such a nice comment.
Literally just searched this topic three hours ago. Glad to see it works. Gives me the confidence to do this on my tank and that swapping boards will work. Thanks.
You're welcome, SourcePittsburgh. Yes, the new control board works wonderfully. It's quite an easy process to replace the board, just take your time. You can do it!
@frugaldiy1 - Wow! Thank you for this amazing instructional video. I could not find a video about replacing just the board and finally came upon yours. I really appreciate the details you provide as well as the pace of your instructions. GREATLY appreciate "No nonsense" "no music", "no dogs, kids or other unnecessary distractions! Every minute of your video was valuable. You are a talented professional and great instructor. I am so impressed and grateful to you for spending so much time sharing your talents to help out so many people. I noticed how you actually reply to viewers' questions. God Bless You! I subscribed and will look over your other video(s) before replacing my board.
What kind words. Thank you, Sunshine, I truly appreciate that you took the time and effort to leave your thoughtful comment. You made this old girl smile. And, yep, I don't care for nonsense music and time-wasting antics in videos. ;)
Impressive coverage of installation & knowledge of gas boiler repairs.Thank you
Hi Frugal DIY. Thank you for posting this video. You did a fabulous job on it. Great explanation about how to replace the control board. I also watched your other video about how to fix the 4 flashes issue before I watched this one. Sounds like maybe you had to replace the board after all. I, too, am having issues with my hot water heater shutting down due to the overheating issue. If it continues, I will take your advice and purchase a new control board. Thanks again. You rock!
Hi Sitting Pretty. I just sat down to dinner to find your supportive and lovely comment. I truly can't thank you enough for that--made my day! Yes, I did have to replace the failed control board, but I also had an issue with no pilot light due to the pilot tube orifice being plugged. I cleared that first with compressed air and then went about troubleshooting the water heater components to verify that it was indeed the control board that had failed, and it was. I made a video on how I went about troubleshooting the water heater components that you may find helpful. Here's a link to it: ruclips.net/video/cAo4I2eoJ9Q/видео.html
Thank you for making this video. I followed your replacement instructions and my water heater is working great, God bless you.
You're welcome, Christopher. I'm glad the video helped you. Enjoy the hot water!
You just saved me $$$$. Thank you for this great video, I was just about to go out to buy a control valve when I saw your video and followed the step by step test . Problem solved . You are awesome and honest, Thank you very much.
You're welcome, Laurie, and thank you for your kind words. I am over-the-moon thrilled when I hear one of my videos helped someone with a project or to save their hard-earned money. I'm just so happy I could help you. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
Great video. Heater went out a week ago. Tested everything per your other video. Checked continuity on thermal switch. Replaced thermopile, gets spark, pilot comes on, but light on control board never flashes. Getting board delivered tomorrow, will follow up if this fixes my issue.
Folks, you can purchase a control board for a Honeywell gas valve or an entire Honeywell gas valve on eBay. I purchased the replacement gas valve (control board included) at a local Restore, so I'd look there too. I think the torx bit is a 17. Happy DIYing!
The Torx bit is a T-15.
what happened to my comment that I wrote on 2/2/23 or 2/3/23 where I mentioned the Bradford White video of measuring the resistance of the coils as 11 to 13 ohms
Had no light situation. Replaced the control board and it worked. Cheers!!!
That's great to hear, Bobby. Enjoy the hot water!
thank you for doing what you do.... exactly what i needed to see and know... you are a good instructor Y'all 🙂
Mitchell, that's such a nice thing to say. Thank you! I really appreciate that you took the time to write it. You're certainly welcome, and y'all be good now-ya hear!
Fantastic video. Very informative. I watched your troubleshooting vid also and it was also very informative. Thanks for walking us through all the little details. Rheem’s technical support team should take a few lessons from you. Thanks very much.
You're welcome, Dan, and thank you for the kind words.
Hopefully an easy question ... if the pilot valve does not open with applying 9v, is the only option to replace the complete Honeywell controller? Thanks - really appreciate your ability to explain the troubleshooting process!!!
Hi Michael. Yes, I would replace the gas valve.
I have the Honeywell model WV8860B1318 and my water is not heating. I got the 6 flashes to replace the burner. Do you happen to know where I could find the exact burner or at least its exact model number. Ty!!
The burner assemblies are pleantiful.. I'd look to eBay or Amazon. I got the entire burner assembly (as a backup) for a couple of dollars more on Amazon that it would have cost be to buy just the thermopile alone. The burner assembly include the burner, igniter head and the thermopile.
Thanks for doing this! A small “pyramid” shaped metal piece fell out when I pulled the cover away from the valve. It appears to fit on one of the pins? Not sure exactly where it goes.
so i ordered a new gas valve controller simply to be able to get the card inside. Then it dawned on me that the only requirement is to swap the new cover and its new card inside with the old cover and card inside. The only real task is to unplug the wires at the top and replug that in. So if you buy a new gas valve controller (about $130 on amazon), it's not necessary to replace the card only and is actually faster to replace the front cover, no need to mess with the internal screw and clips. Just be sure the black valve toggle switch matches the off position. You then also get the advantage of a new igniter button which was very stiff on my old one.
My temperature adjustment never worked from day one, how do I know if its the circuit board or the temperature sensor? My water has always been blazing hot can't turn it down. Does not show any codes, heater is six plus years old running good on LP.
Your videos are fantastic! Quick question? I’ve got a WV8860B1310. Having a hard time finding. Saw note re: not getting the WT style, but will any control board with the WV88 starting numbers work?
Thank you, Big J. I'm glad you find my videos useful.
Re your question--The model number of the the control board I used to replace the old board was not an exact match. The model number began with WV, and it worked like a champ.
@@frugaldiy1 Great! Thanks for prompt reply! I'm telling all my DIY friends about your channel!
Well aren't you kind. Thank you, Big J. I appreciate your support.
Excellent video! I just had a plumber replace my gas valve for $420. He did excellent work and now the water heater is working again. After watching your video though, I'm wondering if it was just a faulty control board?
Thank you, Heinz. Yep, control board failure is a common problem on these gas valves.
@@frugaldiy1 -- It must be the heat from the gas burning or moisture. Maybe both. One minute it's heat. Gas goes off at temperature setting. Cools down. Circuits contract. Then "on" comes the heat. Circuits expand. On a microscopic level, the circuit wires must be stressed. Just a theory.
Interesting theory, Russell.
Hello I have one question what size torx but did you use I have a set but for some reason cant figure out which one it is… can you help?
We actually found the broken piece on our board and soldered it back on and it works again. Small cone shaped piece on E8 like a 1/4” big. Had something to do with the solenoid. It immediately worked after the repair
Chris, thank you for adding this info to help others who might have the same issue.
What were your symptoms? Pilot came on but the cv never actuated the gas valve to open?
@@davidsoudek E8 is the ground for the two gas valves (pilot and main burner). His pilot probably wouldn't come on. Not sure how that would have come loose unless the controller was opened up and possibly had the cover put back on crooked. You need to be very careful that everything is aligned properly when putting the cover back on because those three gas valve pins slide into E7, E8, and E10.
Hi. Great video! Much appreciated!
Question: have you ever had this happen: you press the temperature dial down in the "pilot" setting and press the igniter switch...then the pilot light comes on...but when you release the pilot light dial, the pilot light goes out. Hmmm....
The gas line is good. The igniter and thermopile/thermopoule are good. But as soon as the dial gets released, out goes the pilot light.
Have you observed this? What might be the problem, in your opinion?
Thank you for your time and energy.
Yes, Russell, I most certainly have and recently, too. I did A LOT of troubleshooting to determine the problem was the control board in the Honeywell gas valve had failed. I videoed the steps I took to troubleshoot the issue. If you care to see that video the title is "Troubleshoot Water Heater AND Honeywell Gas Valve." I think that video will help you. I show you how to test out the actual gas valve too.
If you have a Honeywell gas valve, the other problem could be that the control board issued some "Status Error Code" (a blinking or flashing light at the LED status light), so now the control board on the gas valve will not allow you to ESTABLISHED (meaning you can light a pilot but it will not stay lit) a pilot light/flame. You have to override and reset the control board before you can light the pilot and have it remain lit and thereby operate your water heater in "normal" operation mode. I also have a video titled, "Honeywell Gas Valve 4 Flash FIX | High Temp Shutdown," that shows you how to override and reset the control board when the water heater has gone into "High Temperature Shutdown" status.
I hope this helps you, and thank you for your kind words and appreciation.
@@frugaldiy1 --- Thank you for your prompt and comprehensive reply! I will watch the videos you mention. Yes, I do have a Honeywell gas valve, as part of a Rheem hot water heater system. Best, Russell
OH, you're very welcome, Russell. You have to be able to establish and maintain a pilot flame to override and reset the control board, so the "4-Flash High Temp Shutdown" video may not work for you. I do think the "Troubleshoot" video will show you how to both troubleshoot and determine the problem AND fix your water heater. I highly doubt you need a new water heater or a repair person. I'm pretty darn sure you can repair the water heater yourself. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help further.
FYI--You likely have a thermopile, not thermocouple, on your burner assembly. Please test your thermopile if you haven't already done so. If a thermopile is weak (low voltage) or faulty, the pilot flame will not stay lit. It's a safety feature.
@@frugaldiy1 -- Thank you for your followup and suggestions. I'll let you know how it goes!
i have the same problem, new control board and even bought a new thermopile assembly panel (at bottom of heater). I am getting a solid status light after I let go of the pilot light button.
Are the honeywell and resideo motherboards interchangeable?
I have been told they are, but can't tell you with certainty.
How does it receive power for the light to emit blue or red?
The thermopile generates a tiny voltage when the flame heats it.
Does the board act as the thermostat?
Just my temperature knob is broken on my Temperature control panel. I don’t know if it’s in the off position or not. Is it okay to remove it still so I can repair the knob?
Only if you turn the gas supply off. When you replace the knob, make sure it's in the "Off" position before turning the gas supply back on and going through the steps to light the pilot and water heater.
What if the temperature knob is broke and gone how do i do it then
You are gggrrreeaaattt! I love your video Very informative. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you, johnny, for the support and kinds words. You made my day! And that you took the time to write a comment is much appreciate--truly. Happy, DIYing, my friend!
Hi Thank you so much. Are honeywell control boards universal?
I can't answer that with certainty. In my case, I replaced the board the with a control board from a Honeywell gas valve that was a different model number than the one on my water heater. Worked like a charm.
@@frugaldiy1 Same here. Took one from a natural gas unit and put it in my propane unit. See my post on 5/16/23.
I was servicing a gas water heater for low voltage to Thermopile, replaced it, still same issue. I disconnected the board, waited 5 min, reconnected the computer board, light up water heater and no issues
Wonderful video! Thank you!
You're welcome, Tech Guy, thank you. ;)
was the status light on when you were doing troubleshooting?
No, it was not.
Thank you for video. I purchased a thermocouple($67.00) to replace the old and after relighting the pilot light and waiting for over a minute and turning the control knob the pilot light went out (extinguished, wouldn't stay on) stopped burning. I suppose the control board would be my next step, however, the Honeywell model I have WV88600-1000 222-46402-01B is not offered on Ebay! Any suggestions on where to shop for one>?
You're welcome, Richard, and yes. Go to eBay and type in the model number of your Honeywell gas valve (found on the side of the front cover), and you should see results for the actual gas valve AND control boards. The control boards, and gas valves, may be pre-owned but that did not bother me.
But, before you purchase anything, I highly encourage you to watch my video titled, "Troubleshoot Water Heater AND Honeywell Gas Valve | Step-by-Step," because it should help you pinpoint the actual problem. I think the video will help you.
best video about controller
Thank you, Maggie. ;)
My gas water heater is wv8840c1406 board …. Can any other board work with different serial number?
Jose, I can't answer that with certainty. But what I can tell you is that I took the board and cover off of another Honeywell gas valve that had a model number that started with "WV" but had different trailing numbers than the gas valve model number on my water heater. And, the new board works like a charm. My water heater has worked for months now without an issue.
Can anyone do me a favor and tell me where I can find the correct "model-number" located on the side of the gas control valve? The "model- number" currently on the gas control valve is (WV8840B1110). Honeywell advised the old model numbers starting with (WV8840) used for "atmospheric heaters" is being phased out for the newer (WT8840) (year 2020). I got a gas valve replacement error 4, over heated tank. And re-set the system to a normal 1 blink. Now, I get no spark and no indicator blinking lights. Honeywell advised the older WV8840 "requires" gas valve replacement if error 4, overheated tank, occurs even if the water inside the tank is not overheated to the ECO trip point of 188-199 F. Also was told most likely the error 4 blinking lights is a temporary misread and the water inside the tank did not reach 188-199 F, and the 4 blink error code came on due to a type of residue buildup in the tank. And was advised gas valves come out of calibration and have other problems, and its unavoidable that they do fail. And the older (WV8840) requies gas valve replacement if error 4, overheated tank, occurs. And the newer models (WT8840's) is more flexible, letting you reset error code 4 if the gas valve temperature sensor or circuit board has a temporary misread. I would like to purchase the correct Honeywell Gas control valve but unable to confirm the correct new model number to use since the old (WV8840) model numbers are being replaced with newer (WT8840) (year 2020)
loznit1234, don't purchase another gas valve until you watch my video, titled "Honeywell Gas Valve 4 Flash FIX | High Temp Shutdown," to reset and override a 4-flash "High Temp Shutdown" error code. The 10-10-10 second fix resets the gas valve error code. You have to have a pilot flame to use the procedure. You don't need any tools.
My temp control knob is missing and I had to shut my gas of to my house. Now I can't light my water heater. I took the borad off and the black shaft for the control knob is still in the borad I can't pull it out and I don't want to break it please help
Where can i get a board for a Honeywell gas Valve model# WV4460E5017?
What were the problems / symptoms that led you to replace the control board?
Jim, there were several issues. Here's the link to my video where I troubleshoot the water heater and fix two issues--one being the control board.
Hopefully someone can answer my question. I have a pilot light, but there is no status light. I keep pressing my finger on the pilot button, but no status light comes on.....even after 90 seconds. Nothing. I tested the thermopile......500 millivolts. I'm thinking the honeywell control board has failed. Model number for the honeywell is wv8860b1317. I looked up control boards on Ebay and there are only wv8840a1000. Can I replace my wv8860 board with a wv8840 board?
Hi Jason. I can't say with certainty that the replacement board from a Honeywell gas valve that is a different model number than yours will work, but it did in my case. I took the chance, and it worked it worked like a charm.
Where did you locate your parts i can't find nothing
Search eBay with the model number of your gas valve.
Where can I find the replacement control board?? I keep having the overheat issue with mine and it shuts down
Look on eBay for the control board. Type in the model number of your gas valve and look for a control board. If by the "overheat issue, you mean a 4-flash high temperature shutdown, I have a video to reset that issue. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/rllnMAx05JI/видео.html
@@frugaldiy1 - Thank you for the quick reply, I knew about that fix the past several months, but earlier today I got no spark from the igniter, unplugged it, plugged it back together and now I get spark and a pilot flame, but even after over 90 seconds, I still get no status light. I checked the thermocouple with a multimeter like in your video and it checked out, so im thinking either a bad motherboard or a bad thermal safety switch maybe? I REALLY appreciate your help as this is for my elderly mother who is on a fixed income amd can't even attempt to get a technician until atleast the following Wednesday
@@frugaldiy1- so since I can't get the burner to igni5e, I can't do the "very hot, hot, pilot" method...........as soon as I release the gas control know, the pilot extinguishes of course
No worries, Casey, I'll help you and your mother if I can. I don't think it's the thermal switch. Do you know how to "jump" the thermal switch?
Yep, based on what you've said, it does appear as though the motherboard is faulty. I'd get a pre-owned board off a eBay. There are sellers on eBay who are plumbers, and they sell pre-owned entire gas valves and just control boards that they pull from working water heaters they replace. I think a control board would get your dear mother back in business and enjoying warm showers again. Thank you for helping your mother. ;)
@@frugaldiy1 - We also have a 1 year old baby in the house too. And thank you, and no how do I jump the thermal switch? I have found a few boards on Ebay, but the model numbers aren't exact, even though I have read they are pretty much universal across the model numbers.
Excellent video😊
Thank you. ;)
I've been getting 5 blinks. I replaced the temperature safety switch which didn't solve the problem. Then, I replaced with a new board as you did, but after 10 minutes, it went back to 5 blinks. Now what??? By the way, excellent video.
Lindy, it sounds like the temperature sensor has failed or is faulty.
@@frugaldiy1 that's what I thought. Do you have a step-by-step video of how to replace the unit? I've looked at others, but I like your presentation. What is your recommendation for a new valve? The model number of the heater is MI5036FBN. Thank you for your expertise.
No, Lindy, I don't have a video on replacing the gas valve. I'd only ever do that if the valve were leaking water at the location where it goes/screws into the water heater. I don't have a recommendation re a new valve because I don't know the brand or setup of your water heater. I'd have to see it. You change change the temp sensor without removing the gas valve body, but it's a bit complicated. The model number you gave me is for the actual water heater itself, but when you search for a new gas valve, you need to search by model number of the gas valve. It's on the side of your gas valve.
But, before you go through all the hassle of changing this or that, were I you, I'd take the cover of the gas valve off again and make sure the temperature sensor wires are plugged securely into the board. That little connection can be finicky, and it must be plugged into the connection securely.
Consider watching my water heater troubleshooting video because it may help you. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/cAo4I2eoJ9Q/видео.html
And thank you for your kind words, Lindy.
@@frugaldiy1 Thanks for your quick reply. The model number of my Honeywell gas valve is WV8840A1000. I see there is an ICON model, but, I'm wondering if it's that much better. As far as I can see, there is no water leak. I assume it would be visible on the side of the tank (?). I will definitely look at your trouble shooting video. You're a treasure!
Yes, Lindy, the leak would be visible from the front, outside of the tank. I'd recommend you stick with a gas valve that has a model number that begins with "WV." Please watch my troubleshooting video and you will understand why I say that.
great video nice explanation and easy understandable thanks
You're welcome, VIR BONE, and thank you for your kind words. I hope the video helps you.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome, Lang. I hope the video helped you.
How do you replace the dial? Thanks
Jesus, you have to remove the gas valve cover and board from the back of the cover. Then, you slowly rotate the temp knob while tilting it to the side a bit, until you "feel" a location where the knob will come out. Remove the knob. There is a tension spring behind the knob, so be careful to not misplace that. You put the new knob on the same way you took the other knob off.
Just a note, make sure the slot for the control knob is lined up the same as the old one. some new out of box are in a different position, need to relocate.
Great point to mention, deaddy57. Thank you for posting that.
My black control knob broke it off . I found used control black knob parts for honeywell water heater. how to replace the control knob ?
A G, put the shaft of the control knob into the hole on the cover and rotate the knob a little at a time, back and forth, while leaning the knob to the side a bit. It will pop in place. Don't forget to put the spring in, too.
@@frugaldiy1 Hi, I need to replace the know as well. When i remove the cover.. can i just push the arm of the temp knob through the hole of the control board with a small screwdriver to pop it out? Is it really that easy? Kinda nervous. Thanks again for the video!
@@digablesoul The knob has a spring behind that you don't want to lose. You have to turn the knob slowly and rotate or tip it slightly to the side to remove it at just the right spot. Just go slow and be careful and gentle with it.
Thank you for the videos, they helped me pinpont the control board. The w/h won't turn off the burner if you dial heat up to HOT. We realized this after the sink hose blew and burned my wife! Gives steady warm water below the Hot setting. Unfortunately, I cannot locate a board for the WV8880B1211 propane control valve. You said the WT series don't let you reset the 4-blink error (which I never actually saw), but WT board may be my only choice. I got one reply telling me to take a picture of the board. Can you recommend a substitute from another vendor? Waiting on a reply from State Industries, who made the W/H.
Ralph, I'm glad to were able to pinpoint the problem. Great job! As to the control board, please type the model number of your gas valve into eBay and see if a seller has a pre-owned or new LP (propane) control board or gas valve. I, personally, wouldn't buy from Honeywell directly. Some of the sellers on eBay are plumbers who have pulled working gas valves and control boards from an install or job. If you don't find what you need, message one or a couple and ask if they have one or can get you one. Don't be discouraged; you'll find one. Please comment back if you need more info or help.
Thank you much appreciated!
You're welcome, Cookies. ;)
Do you have a part number for the control board? Thanks!!!
solarsynapse, I don't. The control board is on the gas valve now. But, the model number of the gas valve that the control board came off of is WV8840C1531. You can find pre-owned and new control boards on eBay. I hope this info helps you.
Just type in the model number of your Honeywell gas valve into eBay, and you should get search results for both the gas valve and the control board for that model.
the B1000 will work for replacing the B1109
where can i buy the control board
Look on eBay.
Nice Video.
Thank you, David.
My brand new a.o hot water tank wont ignite and the insulation around the gas valve is wet
It should be under warranty, so I'd ask for a replacement. If the insulation around the gas valve is wet, the problem is likely that there is leak where the gas valve goes into the the water heater tank. Look under the gas valve to see if water is dripping from it.
@@frugaldiy1 Thank you for the help.
My pleasure.
Thanx

Thank you. I appreciate that, and welcome. ;)
Can't find a place to just buy the board. That's lame. This should be a $50 repair, not over $500.
I agree, Luke. Look on eBay. Type in the model number of your gas valve and see what results you get. There are some plumbers on eBay that sell pre-owned, working control boards and gas valves they take off working water heaters on an install job. I'd look for one of those.
