24

Replace a burner control

27

Replace a burner control

29

Replace a burner control

Increase the preset
temperature of thermostat.
*To keep heater running,
an internal thermostat
knob shall be set on
"Cont." position.

If it works normally, the
heater is under control of
thermostat.

Increase the preset
temperature of thermostat

Internal thermostat is
working
(the preset
temperature of internal
thermostat is below the
ambient temperature)

Wait till the heater cool
down for several minutes /
Replace a overheat
protection

  Overheat lamp is lit (Overheat protection is working)

Plug in overheat protection
connector (CN 2) again,
and then turn on

Overheat protection
connector (CN 2) is
loose connection

If it works normally,
overheat protection
connector fails on contact

Plug in connector (CN 2)
firmly

Not applicable in above

Tip-over switch cord is
disconnection / Tip-
over switch is defective

Check the conduction of
tip-over switch
(Cord color&Standard
value)
red-red: 

Conduction 0Ω

If it doesn't conduct (∞Ω)

when the heater is on the
level,
Tip-over switch cord is
disconnection / Tip-over
switch is defective

Overheat protection is
working / Overheat
protection cord is
disconnection /
Overheat protection is
defective

Check the conduction of
overheat protection
(Cord color&Standard
value)
white-white: Conduction  0

Ω

If it doesn't conduct (∞Ω),

Overheat protection is
working / Overheat
protection cord is
disconnection / Overheat
protection is defective

21

Not applicable in above

  Overvoltage lamp is lit (Overvoltage detection is working)

If excessive voltage is
detected (over 300V for
EPX1 / over 150V for
EPX5) in AC outlet,
overvoltage detection is
working

Plug into a working outlet

Excessive voltage is
detected

Measure voltage of AC
outlet.
Standard:  EPX1 AC230V
                EPX5 AC120V

28

Replace a tip-over switch

Not applicable in above

31

26

23

22

  Tip-over lamp is lit (Tip-over switch is working)

Tip-over switch
connector (CN 2) is
loose connection

Plug in tip-over switch
connector (CN 2) again,
and then turn on

If it works normally, tip-
over switch connector fails
on contact

Plug in connector (CN 2)
firmly

25

Measure resistance at
condenser of fan motor
Standard: detect
resistance for a moment

and return to ∞Ω

Replace a fan motor

If it shows ∞Ω immutably,

condenser is defective

Condenser of fan
motor is defective

  Overheat, tip-over and overvoltage lamp is lit (Abnormal fan speed detection is working)

Terminal connector for
condenser of fan motor
is loose connection

Plug in terminal connector
for condenser of fan motor
again, and then turn on

If it works normally,
terminal connector for
condenser of fan motor

Plug in terminal connector
firmly

30

33

32

Plug in connector (CN 8)
firmly

Fan motor connector
(CN15) is loose
connection

Plug in fan motor
connector (CN15) again,
and then turn on

If it works normally, fan
motor connector (CN15)
fails on contact

Plug in connector (CN 15)
firmly

Fan speed sensor
connector (CN 8) is
loose connection

Plug in fan speed sensor
connector (CN 8) again,
and then turn on

If it works normally, fan
speed sensor connector
(CN 8) fails on contact
