Quick answer
Ignition Lockout Ignition Lockout. Heater has made three unsuccessful attempts to fire and is in a soft lockout condition. Low gas supply, broken igniter, air in gas line, fan issues, gas valve not opening. System will auto-retry after one hour. Check gas supply, verify igniter condition, and ensure gas valve is in the ON position.
Severity: high · DIY difficulty: easy
Safety
Stop at the exterior: power-cycle at the disconnect, clean the filter/basket, and check for obvious water-flow blockage. Pool heaters combine gas piping, 240 V wiring, and (on heat pumps) refrigerant — burner, control-board, and sealed-system work requires a licensed technician. If you smell gas, shut the gas valve and leave the area first.

First checks before service
1. One-time fault event (power disturbance or transient sensor reading) common DIY
Check: Power-cycle at the breaker/disconnect (or unplug for CPAP), restore, and run the system while watching for the code.
Fix: If the code does not return after a full run cycle, the fault was transient — monitor, no repair needed.
2. Fault persists after a clean reset occasional pro only
Check: If the code returns immediately or every session, note the conditions (startup, heating, after rain).
Fix: A persisting code points at the component the manual assigns to this code — that repair is technician territory.
