Bradford white defender water heater blinking green light

Your flashing green light on the water heater means the unit is calling for hot water. The fact that the boiler will fire with the thermostat means the boiler is fine.

A blinking light on your water heater is an error message. It's also common to see these after you plug it back in when you're opening a shore house for the season. If there's no problem, the blinking light will become steady. If it changes color or keeps going on and off, then there's a problem.

If your car's water temperature light starts flashing it means the engine is overheating. Some car models have a flashing water temperature light while others have a steady light. Other models add a sound indicator to further attract the driver's attention.

Resetting your Bradford White Water Heater is relatively easy once you realize that there is no reset button. Make sure that the pilot is turned on, switch the dial to “very hot” for 10 seconds, to “hot” for 10 seconds and to “pilot” for 10 seconds. This will reset your water heater.
