1. No electric power to heater.

2. Blades of fan in contact with heater 

housing.

3. Fan blades bent.

4. Fan motor defective.

are no dents in the housing obstructing the
fan.

3. Straighten all fan blades.

4. Replace Motor Assembly.

loose. Inspect Spark module, and replace if
necessary. Inspect all other electrical 
components.

2. Set plug gap to 0.16” (4mm).

3. Replace spark plug (Multi-Bracket

Assembly).

Heater stops running by

itself

1. Temperature inside heater is too high,

causing thermal switch to shut down 
operation.

2. Damaged control valve.

3. Dust or debris accumulated in heater.

1. If heater input or output is restricted, the

inside temperature can become too hot.
Keep the areas in front and behind heater
