How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. The control board carries high voltage.
Steps:
- Access control board: Remove the top panel and control housing to expose the main PCB.
- Visual inspection: Look for discoloration, burnt spots, or cracked solder joints around the heater relay.
- Check connectors: Ensure all heater-related connectors are firmly seated and not heat-damaged.
- Board repair/replacement: If the relay is visibly damaged or the board is burnt, the entire control board should be replaced. Component-level repair should only be done by an experienced electronics technician.
