OK, thermostat is
calling for heat.
Turn off power to heater.
Disconnect YELLOW and RED wires from the
thermostat board at location N.O. and COM shown in
photo at right. Use a jumper to connect these two
wires together as shown in photo at right.
Restore power to heater.
Did heater cycle on?

Check thermostat sensor
for proper resistance
(OHMS) across blue wires.
(See Appendix A, sensor
resistance)
Are readings correct?
