Bradford White Water Heater Error Code 1 flash every 4 sec green (V2)

This indicator means the pilot light is lit and the main burner is currently off because the water has reached the set point temperature. It is a normal status signal produced by the V2 gas valve control, not a fault or error code. No service action is needed when this pattern is displayed.

Yes, this indicator confirms the unit is in a safe and normal operating state. The pilot is burning and the control system is functioning as intended. There is no condition present that would require you to shut down the heater or call for service.

There is no cost associated with this indicator because it signals normal operation rather than a fault. If the water temperature is not meeting your needs, the only adjustment required is turning the temperature knob on the gas valve, which costs nothing. If a technician visit is called unnecessarily, you could expect to pay a standard diagnostic fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150 depending on your location and provider.

No repair is needed. The slow green flash every 4 seconds confirms the unit is operating correctly in standby mode. If you want hotter water, simply turn the temperature knob on the gas valve to a higher setting and the burner will cycle on once the water temperature drops below the new threshold.

There is nothing to clear because this is not an error code. Resetting the unit is unnecessary and would simply require you to relight the pilot. The green flash pattern will continue to display during normal standby operation after any reset.
