Possible Causes

Undersized power wiring, Loose line voltage connections, Failing transformer, Brownout or unstable supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the electrical compartment. Only qualified persons should work on line voltage.

  • Inspect power connections: Remove the electrical access cover and check the line (L1/L2) terminals on the Nirvana power block. Tighten any loose screws and look for discoloration or heat damage.
  • Check breaker and wiring: Verify the heater is on a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker size and wire gauge per the installation manual.
  • Measure voltage: With power on (exercise caution), measure incoming voltage at the heater and compare to the nameplate rating. Low or fluctuating voltage can cause F14.
  • Transformer test: With power off, inspect the Nirvana control transformer. With power on, measure secondary voltage to ensure it is within spec (e.g., 24 VAC). Replace if output is low or intermittent.
  • Correct supply issues: If house voltage is unstable, consult an electrician. Persistent F14 after correcting supply may indicate a failing control board.
