How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Identify and correct the cause of any tripped safety before resetting.

  • 1. Locate safety devices: On Brötje furnaces, safety thermostats may be mounted on the flow pipe, flue hood, or casing. External safety devices may be wired to dedicated terminals.
  • 2. Check for overheat or flue issues: If a limit or flue thermostat has tripped, investigate pump operation, system flow, and flue blockage before resetting.
  • 3. Reset thermostats: After cooling, press the reset button on manual reset thermostats.
  • 4. Inspect wiring: Trace the safety loop wiring for loose connections or breaks.
