MAIN CONTROL
The main control board is very robust and is rarely the
cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose
the board for any suspected failures before attempting to
remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the
guidelines below to fully test and diagnose the main
control.
Power Fault
If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the
flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before
beginning it is important to first verify the unit is not
simply set to sabbath mode.
