Possible Causes

Incorrect line voltage, Loose power connections, Tripped internal fuse, Faulty transformer on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Verify supply: Confirm the heater is connected to the correct voltage (typically 120 VAC) and that the breaker is properly sized.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the line and neutral connections at the junction box and control board for tightness and signs of overheating.
  • Internal fuse: Some State boards have a replaceable fuse. Test and replace only with the same type and rating if blown. Investigate cause of failure.
  • Transformer/board: If correct voltage is present at the input but the board does not power up properly, the internal power supply section may have failed and the board should be replaced.
