Possible Causes

Supply voltage outside specified range, Loose power connections, Shared circuit with heavy loads causing dips, Internal power supply failure on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the electrical compartment.

  • Check supply voltage: Use a multimeter to measure voltage at the heater terminals. Compare to the rating plate (e.g., 120 V or 230 V).
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure that the line, neutral, and ground connections are tight and correctly wired.
  • Dedicated circuit: If the heater shares a circuit with large appliances, consider moving it to a dedicated circuit to avoid voltage drops.
  • Check for signs of damage: Inspect the internal power supply section of the control board for burnt components or discoloration.
  • Stabilize supply: If the building has unstable power, consult an electrician about surge protection or voltage stabilization.
  • Board replacement: If external power is stable but H91 persists, the control board's internal power supply may be faulty and require replacement.
