PROBLEM
SOLUTION(S)
Does not heat
Verify heater is connected to proper voltage.
Check to see if there is a resistance reading
(not an open circuit) in heater using an ohm meter.
Circuit breaker is tripping
Verify that the circuit breaker is capable of handling the
amperage requirement of heater. The identification label
located on the power cord displays the heater’s amper-
age requirement.
Examine heater and cord for any damage.
Check to see if there is a resistance reading between
power leads and the ground lead.
Significant temperature
deviations during initial
heat-up period
This initial period may last about 5 minutes. The built-in
high-limit controller limits the heat-up rate and produces
the observed temperature swing. The actual click-stud
temperature is rising at a steady rate; however, the con-
troller will indicate an exaggerated surface temperature
swing. This is a normal condition. After the initial heat-
up period, the expected temperature deviation will be
less than +/- 10ºF on the controller.
