Diagnostic steps
Reset power to the control
Per the manual, perform a power and system reset to attempt to clear the internal control fault.
Confirm the LED state
Check whether the steady red internal-control-failure LED clears after the reset.
Replace the PIM if the fault remains
Per the PIM guidance, if the fault remains after the reset, replace the PIM/control.
Verify wiring before re-power
Before re-powering, the manual cautions that wiring errors cause improper and dangerous operation; verify proper wiring per the wiring diagram.
Observe operation
After replacement, confirm the heater operates normally without the internal control fault returning.
When to call a professional
Replacing the control module is a parts-level repair on a unit with gas and live electrical connections, and the manual warns that wiring errors can cause dangerous operation. Because this fault calls for replacing the control once a reset fails, and correct configuration and wiring are critical, have a qualified Raypak service technician perform the diagnosis and replacement rather than attempting it without manufacturer support.
