How to Fix / Troubleshooting
High-current safety: Turn OFF power at the breaker. Only proceed if you understand electrical safety.
Steps:
- Verify that the breaker size and wire gauge match the Eemax model's installation manual. Correct any undersized wiring or incorrect breaker.
- Measure supply voltage to ensure it is within the specified range.
- Inspect elements and wiring for signs of overheating or partial shorts. Test element resistance and replace any suspect heating element.
- If wiring and elements are correct, the control board current sensing circuit may be faulty. Replace the main control board.
Do not bypass current protection; it is critical for safety.
