What Bradford White Error 12 Means

Correct meaning and source including the 'immediate code 12' note; series attribution should be EverHot IGI-180R/IGI-180C tankless.

Bradford White fault codes can vary by model and series. Use this as a guide — the same code can have more than one cause. Our Technical Safety BC–licensed technicians read the code, confirm it against your unit's manual, and diagnose the true cause before any repair.

Likely causes of Bradford White error 12

  • Defective gas valve or incorrect gas type/pressure
  • Flame rod disconnected or fouled with carbon build-up
  • Power-supply problem (loose connections, voltage drops) or poor grounding
  • Defective combustion fan motor wiring harness
  • Improper venting / condensation collar causing flame instability

What you can safely check

  • Confirm the gas supply is fully on and steady
  • Verify the heater has stable electrical power and is plugged in firmly

Beyond these checks, do not open the unit or touch gas/electrical parts — BC law requires a licensed gas fitter. Call us for a proper diagnosis.
