With the power off, you can check the continuity through the surge protector. Place a meter lead on the top pin #1 of the surge protector and pin #3 on the bottom of the surge protector. Check across the top pin #3 and the bottom pin #1. If you read continuity across these two points, the surge protector is good. If you do not get continuity, replace the surge protector.

Frost Protection:

This unit has frost protection heaters mounted at different points to protect the water the water heater from freezing. The heaters located on the hot water outlet line should have a resistance reading of 10-20 ohms through each of these heaters. The heater located on the heat exchanger piping should have a resistance reading of 35-50 ohms, and the one located in the water flow sensor valve, hot water outlet, and drain connection should have a resistance reading of 110-150 ohms. The heater located on the latent heat exchanger should have a resistance reading 90-110 ohms.

Amp Fuses:

This unit has one inline seven-amp glass fuses. Remove the fuse and check continuity through it. If you have continuity through the fuse, it is good. Otherwise, the fuse is blown and must be replaced.
