How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Repeated breaker tripping indicates a serious electrical fault. Do not keep resetting the breaker.

  • Visual inspection: With power off, inspect wiring inside the Crown boiler for burned insulation, loose wires, or signs of arcing.
  • Isolate components: A technician can disconnect loads (pump, fan) one at a time to identify the faulty component.
  • Do not upsize breaker: Never replace the breaker with a larger one to stop tripping; this is dangerous.
  • Call a professional: Electrical diagnostics should be performed by a qualified technician or electrician.
