Possible Causes
Open safety thermostat chain, Loose wiring in safety loop, Faulty panel interlock switch (if fitted), Tripped external safety device
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before testing continuity on safety circuits.
- Trace the safety loop: Using the wiring diagram, identify all devices in the safety chain (overheat stats, panel switches, external cut‑outs).
- Check each device: With a multimeter on continuity, test across each safety device with it in the normal (non‑tripped) state. Replace any that remain open.
- Inspect wiring: Look for loose spade connectors, broken wires, or signs of overheating at each safety device.
- Reset external devices: Some installations include external high‑limit stats or emergency stops. Reset them if tripped and investigate why they operated.
Do not bypass safety devices for normal operation; they are critical for safe use.
