PROBLEM
SOLUTION(S)
Heater does not warm up
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
Validate that the circuit breaker is capable of
handling the amp requirement of heater. The
identification label located on the power cord displays
the heater’s amperage requirement.
Examine heater and cord for any damage.
Check to see if there is a resistance reading between
power leads and the ground lead.
