TEST 4
Upper Temperature probe continuity check
Red wire to red wire - Turn supply power "Off" for this test
If…
...then
test indicates
no continuity
replace probe.
continuity
is indicated
probe should be okay (also verify Ohms
resistance for water temperature). (Reading will
be approximate.)

Continuity check of ECO (energy cut-off, high limit)
Black to Black wires of upper probe. Power is off.
If…
...then
continuity
is indicated
opens at 203° F; closes at 193° F. If water is
below 193° F, continuity is correct.
continuity
is not present
replace ECO sensor, if water temperature is
below 193° F.
