So the only way to tell is to access the board and take a look. I’ll have to recruit one of my more flexible grandkids to get up in the back of the storage bay to access the board. I think it’s time for a thorough tuneup on the hot water heater. I’ve got the anode rod to replace and am just going to go over the whole thing. Thanks
Unless you have access to or have an ignitor board tester, taking a look can sometimes tell you with a disclamer. They can also go toast and not show any burning. You can also test them out with a meter buts its a real PITA.
The last half dozen or so I have changed going back about a year and a half, have all had the part number / revision number in the last picture, and every one of those visibly fried.
