Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. The heater area may still be hot even if it is not working correctly.
Step-by-step checks:
- Visual element check: Look at the heating element for breaks or heavy burn marks.
- Access heater terminals: Remove the top or rear cover to reach the heater terminals. Check for loose or burnt connectors.
- Thermal fuse: Locate the thermal fuse in the heater circuit. Test for continuity with a meter. If open, replace with the exact rated GoWISE-compatible fuse.
- Element continuity: Test the heating element with a multimeter. If open, replace the heating element assembly.
- Control board: If both fuse and element are good, the heater relay or triac on the control board may have failed, requiring board replacement.
When to stop: Do not bypass the thermal fuse. If you are unsure how to test components safely, contact a professional.
