Jandy JXi 400,000 BTU Pool and Spa Heater with Digital Temperature Control CF Error Fix: Combustion Fan Fault

Error code CF on the Jandy JXi 400,000 BTU Pool and Spa Heater with Digital Temperature Control means: Combustion Fan Fault. The combustion blower (fan) is not running or not reaching proper speed — the blower must run to purge the combustion chamber of residual gas before ignition and to maintain proper air-to-fuel ratio during firing; causes include a failed blower motor, a bad motor capacitor, loose wiring connections, or a control board relay failure; check blower operation by listening for the fan when the heater calls for heat; check wiring connections; blower replacement typically requires a qualified pool heater technician
