On my particular Honeywell gas valve, model WV8840B1109, the error codes indicate the following: FLASHES STATUS 0 Control Off/Pilot Out 1 Normal Operation 2 Thermopile Voltage Low 4 High Temperature Shutdown 5 Temperature Sensor Failure 7 Gas Control or Valve Failure 8 Flame Sensor Error What your friend did to fix your problem temporarily, was press the reset button on the safety interlock probably located on the access cover of the heating chamber. I touched the two top ones. The pilot would lite, the main burner would come on and it would run for awhile.

It Is Designed For Use In Standing Pilot Applications Using An Immersion Well For Water Temperature Sensing. I closed the cover again and lit the pilot again.
