pressure when water level is
proper and fuel switch is turned
on.
Check to see that circuit
breaker in main is turned on.
Check to see that contactors
are pulling in.
Current flow is broken at
water level control (
ascertain
with continuity check
).

pressure control or high limit
control switches due to mal
-
adjustment or defect (
ascer-
tain with continuity check
).

tactor
coils or complete contactor
- if found defective. Measure
amperage at terminal block
check to be sure there is an
even draw on all three phas
-
es - see wiring diagrams for
correct AMP draw. If uneven
or zero amperage draw is
found on one of the three
phases, check for blown
fuse. If fuse is OK, shut off
power, remove wires from
heating elements and run
continuity check - replace if
defective.
