One flash every four seconds | Not an error. Indicates pilot is lit and main burner is off. | Gas valve is powered and waiting for the set point knob to be turned to a water temperature setting. If the set point knob is at desired setting, the thermostat is satisfied. |
One flash every second | Not an error. Indicates main valve is open and main
