This heater has two limit switches, One on the heat
chamber, the other on the fan housing. Both switches
should be tested annually, typically when the heater is given
a thorough cleaning.
1. Remove either high limit switch.
2. Holding the switch by one of its mounting legs, apply
a small flame only to the sensing portion on the back
of the switch. Be careful not to melt the plastic
housing of the switch when conducting this test.
3. Within a minute, you should hear a “pop” coming
from the switch, indicating the contacts of the switch
have opened.
4. Allow the switch cool down for about a minute before
firmly pressing the reset button on the switch.
5. Check for electrical continuity across the switch
terminals to make sure the contacts have closed.
