How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Leave the breaker off until the fault is identified. Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker.
- Visual inspection: Open the electrical compartment and look for burned wires, melted insulation, or signs of arcing near the Nirvana blower motor, transformer, and control board.
- Isolate components: Disconnect suspect loads (blower, transformer) one at a time and attempt to power the heater to see if the breaker still trips. This should be done by a qualified technician.
- Megger test (pro): A technician can perform insulation resistance tests on motors and wiring.
- Replace faulty parts: Replace any shorted motors, transformers, or damaged wiring harnesses with OEM Nirvana components.
