b)200 to 230 volts ac for two wire 200 or 230 volt models.

3.Disconnect the brewer from the power source.

If voltage is present as described, proceed to #4

If voltage is not present as described, refer to the Wir- ing Diagrams and check wiring harness.

4.Disconnect the wires from the tank heater termi- nals.

5.Check resistance value across tank heater terminals and compare to chart.

If resistance is present as described, reconnect the wires, the tank heater is ok.
