Possible Causes

Loose wiring on safety thermostats, Intermittent flow switch contacts, Overheating due to marginal flow, Faulty control PCB relay on Certikin heater

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before inspecting internal wiring.

  • Check flow and filtration: Ensure strong, steady flow through the heater by cleaning filters and verifying pump performance.
  • Inspect safety circuits: Gently tug each wire on high limit thermostats, flow switches, and pressure switches to ensure firm connections.
  • Look for heat damage: Examine connectors and terminals for discoloration or melting.
  • Monitor operation: After reassembly, run the heater and observe whether shutdown coincides with pump speed changes or other equipment switching.

Intermittent faults can be complex; if the issue persists, a technician should test each safety device and the control PCB.
