Part 2 – Testing the pump circuit (AC and resistance)

REFER TO THE NUMBERED PHOTOS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE

Electrical Testing Illustrated continued

Part 3 – Testing the low-water probe circuit

Part 4 – Testing the full-tank float switch (or pressure switch) circuit

*) Resistance: Hold the probes tightly to the wire and scratch them to ensure good contact.

Hold them still until the meter display shows the LOWEST reading that you can get. Holding
the probes with your fingers will not alter the reading.
