Replacing gas valve
Service Bulletin G3-28
Introduction
This procedure must be performed by a licensed gas technician
with a calibrated combustion gas analyzer.
 The gas valve is not gas type specic but requires different CO₂
values when calibrating for different gas types.
Tools needed:
Phillips head screwdriver
 Small at head screwdriver
#40 Torx driver
 Combustion gas analyzer
30mm open end wrench or large adjustable wrench
4mm allen wrench
Preparation
1. Unplug water heater and turn off gas to heater using installer
supplied manual shut off valve.
2. Loosen two Phillips head screws located at bottom rear of cover.

Installing gas valve
1. Replace both the grey ber washer on the left side of the gas
valve and the rubber gasket on the top of the gas valve.
2. Hold replacement gas valve in place and reinstall the three allen
screws into the top of the gas valve. (Fig. 3, pos. 4).
3. Reinstall 30mm hex nut on the left side of gas valve.
(Fig. 3, pos. 3)
4. Open manual gas shutoff valve and check for leaks at all connec-
tions.
5. Reinstall silicone pressure balance tube to right side of gas
valve. (Fig. 3, pos. 2).
6. Reconnect wire connection to gas valve. (Fig. 3, pos. 1).
Calibrating gas valve
1. Reinstall combustion cover. (Fig. 1, step 2).
2. Return control unit to normal position and secure with 3 Phillips
head screws. (Fig. 2)
3. Plug in water heater and push power button to the "ON" posi-
tion.
4. Open a hot water tap. If heater res, adjust CO₂ using service
bulletin G3-12 Measuring and adjusting CO₂.
5. If the heater does not fire, allow the unit to display the EA error
code and shut off hot water tap. The fan will continue to run to
purge the heater of gasses. Continue to the next section for a
rough gas valve adjustment.
Rough gas valve adjustment
Note: Do not forcefully tighten adjustment screws past bottom out
point. Stop bottoming out screw when resistance is felt. Failure
to do so will damage the gas valve.
1. Locate adjustment screw on gas valve. Loosen Phillips head
screw so retaining cover can be rotated to expose brass slotted
screw. (Fig. 4, pos. 1 & 2).
2. Turn brass slotted screw clockwise gently until it bottoms out
and/or screw resistance increases. (Fig. 4, pos. 3).

3. Once the slotted screw is bottomed out, make the following
adjustment to the slotted screw depending on your model and
gas type. (Fig. 4, pos. 3)
For models GWH 715 ES/GWH 2700 ES/ GWH 2400 ES:
Natural Gas: 2.5 turns counter-clockwise on brass slotted screw
Liquid Propane: .75 turns counter-clockwise on brass slotted screw
For model GWH C 800 ES:
Natural Gas: 3 turns counter-clockwise on brass slotted screw
Liquid Propane: 1 turn counter-clockwise on brass slotted screw
For models GWH C920 ES/GWH C 920 ESC:
Natural Gas: 2.5 turns counter-clockwise on brass slotted screw
Liquid Propane: Leave brass slotted screw bottomed out
4. Open a hot water tap. If heater res, adjust CO₂ using service
bulletin G3-12 Measuring and adjusting CO₂. If heater still does
not re, contact Bosch Thermotechnology Corp.
5. Reinstall brass slotted screw cover and secure with Phillips
screw. (Fig. 4, pos. 1 & 2).
!WARNING
FAILURE TO PROPERLY CALIBRATE THE
HEATER’S CO₂ LEVEL MAY RESULT IN A
HAZARDOUS CONDITION CAUSING
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
