Quick answer
The vent safety or vent-temperature limit is open.
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.
What Blocked Vent / Vent Temp Limit means
The vent safety or vent-temperature limit is open.
Code meaning varies by series
- X94 / SR-410 (Professional Series Digital): Blocked Vent: vent/field switch #1 is open. Vent Temp Limit: vent temp limit switch is open.
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.
