Troubleshooting Guide

1.Do not wire the unit into the appliance 24 volt fan or thermostat circuit. This will cause premature ballast or lamp failure and void the warranty. For proper operation, the unit requires 24VAC at all times.

2.Check to make sure 24VAC power is available at the transformer.

3.If lamp does not light up, pull back metal washer on mounting base. If lamp comes on, the base needs tightening to ensure that the safety switch is fully engaged.

4.If lamp does not light up, rotate ballast slightly clockwise or counter-clockwise.

5.If lamp does not light up after rotating ballast, replace lamp.

6.If unit still does not light up after replacing lamp, replace unit.
