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

This pattern means the main gas valve is open and the main burner is actively lit. It is a normal operational status, not an error code. The V2 control board uses this green LED pattern to communicate that a heating cycle is in progress. The burner will shut off automatically once the water reaches the set temperature.

Yes, it is completely safe. The once-per-second green flash simply means the burner is on and heating the water. This is normal operation, and you can draw hot water from the unit as usual while this pattern is displayed.

No repair is needed for this condition. The once-per-second green flash is a status indicator, not a fault. There are no parts to replace and no service call required. If you are concerned about unusually long burner run times, a technician visit for a general inspection might range from around $75 to $150 depending on your area.

No action is required. This flash pattern confirms normal burner operation. If the light continues flashing for an unusually long time, check whether there is high hot water demand in the household or whether the setpoint temperature is set appropriately. No repairs or resets are needed for this condition.

Resetting the control is not necessary and would not prevent this pattern from returning. Since this is a normal operational indicator, the control will display it again any time the burner fires during a heating cycle. A reset is only appropriate when a genuine fault code is displayed.
