How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before tightening or adjusting components.

  • Tighten fixings: Check all mounting screws for the heater, cover, and internal components. Tighten as needed.
  • Inspect fan: On fan-assisted models, clean dust from the fan and ensure blades are not rubbing.
  • Check element mounting: Ensure the heating element flange is secure and not vibrating against the tank or casing.

Note: Persistent electrical buzzing from the PCB may indicate a failing component and should be checked by a technician.
