The wiring harness is a one-piece component that routes the electrical circuits through the internal components.
When replacing the wiring harness make sure to check the following:
¥

Make sure no wires come in contact with the blowers, exhaust tube, exhaust ducts, or exhaust box.

¥

Tighten wires so they do not become tangled in the auger motor screw (use wire hangers and lock-ties).

¥

Make sure all wires are connected to the correct component - see the illustration below.

NOTE:
The number in parenthesis corresponds with the numbers placed on the molex connector to 
the right.  The orientation of the wires (except for system snap disk) does not matter when 
attaching to the components.  The system snap disk must be connected as shown below.

NOTE:
This illustration depicts the molex 
connector for the wiring harness.  
The numbers are added for 
reference only and do not appear 
on the actual connector.

OOR

A door with an old or damaged gasket will leak air into the firebox, causing decreased performance.  Check
the door gasket to make sure it compresses against the face of the heater when the door is shut.  The glass
gasket must form an air-tight seal.  The illustrations below detail the Avalon and Lopi doors.

The glass is held in place with 
the retainer clips and a 5" piece 
of1/4" x1/16" flat white 
self-adhesive gasketing.

Use a 5/16" nutdriver for the 
retaining clip screws.
