Troubleshooting a Bosch 250SX LP (liquid propane) water heater can involve several steps to identify and resolve issues. Here’s a systematic approach to help you diagnose common problems:

### 1. **Check Power Supply:**
– Ensure that the power supply to the unit is on. Check the circuit breaker and make sure it hasn’t tripped.
– Inspect the power cord and connections for any signs of damage.

### 2. **Inspect the Gas Supply:**
– Verify that the gas supply valve is open.

– Ensure that the propane tank is not empty.

### 3. **Examine the Pilot Light:**
– If the pilot light is out, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to safely relight it.
– If the pilot won’t stay lit, check the thermocouple. If it’s damaged or dirty, clean or replace it.

– Flush the tank to remove sediment buildup which can affect heating efficiency.
– Check the inlet and outlet lines for clogs.

### 7. **Test the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve:**
– Ensure the valve is functioning correctly by lifting the lever slightly to let some water out. It should close and stop leaking when released.
– If it continues to leak, it may need replacing.

### 8. **Inspect the Venting System:**
– Ensure that the venting system is clear of obstructions, which can affect performance.
