Possible Causes

Shorted heating element, Loose or undersized wiring, Water leak contacting electrical components, Faulty control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Leave the breaker OFF until the fault is found. Risk of fire or shock.

Steps:

  • Inspect for leaks: Check inside the unit for any signs of water near electrical terminals. Fix leaks before restoring power.
  • Check wiring size: Confirm that wire gauge and breaker size match Marey installation requirements.
  • Inspect elements: Look for visible damage or burn marks on heating elements and terminals.
  • Test elements (advanced): With wires disconnected and power off, measure resistance to ground from each element terminal. Any continuity to ground indicates a shorted element that must be replaced.

When to call a technician: For detailed electrical diagnosis, element replacement, or if the breaker continues to trip after obvious issues are corrected.
