How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and gas. Do not operate the heater while wet inside.

Steps to dry and protect:

  • Open cabinet: Remove access panels and allow the interior to dry completely. Use a dry cloth to wipe visible moisture.
  • Inspect gaskets and covers: Replace missing or damaged panel gaskets that allow water entry.
  • Check connectors: Clean and dry corroded connectors; apply dielectric grease where appropriate.
  • Improve site drainage: Ensure the heater pad is above grade and that sprinklers do not spray directly on the unit.
