Troubleshooting Checklist: Climate Control Equipment
Standard Heating Equipment
- -Make sure the start button has been pressed
- -Be sure the heater is plugged in to a dedicated 120v / 20amp outlet
- -Check to see if the GFI/breaker has been tripped
- -Be sure the thermostat is set high enough to call for heat
- -Be sure the gas is on:
- -For propane – check the valve to the tank and also the “t” valve right after the red regulator
- -For natural gas – check the “t” valve right after the meter
- -If you are burning propane check to see if there is at least 20% in the tank
- -Be sure there are no materials blocking the front or back of the heater
- -Check to see if the hose is kinked or if there is anything on it such as lumber, vehicles, etc.
- -Be sure gas selector valve is in the correct position if applicable (natural gas or propane)
- -Be sure all extension cords are grounded
- -All ductwork must be straight to maintain constant air flow
Ground Heater Equipment
- -Make sure there is power to the machine
- -Make sure there is fuel in the machine
- -For the E1100 – make sure to wrap fuel tank and fuel filter with extra hose and blanket to avoid fuel gelling
- -Make sure the unit is level – if not machine may be showing a false low level fault
- -Check to make sure there is nothing laying on the lines
- -Be sure the pump is running (check flow meters – a.k.a. spinning dials) to make sure they are turning:
- -If not pumping – check for low level fault light located on control panel
- -If in low level fault – there may be a leak
- -Check for leaks
- -Make sure the burner is on:
- -Check burner fault module located on the side door (green button and red light)
- -Press and hold green button for 45 seconds to try and reset
