Troubleshooting Guide Warning: The troubleshooting portion of this manual requires that the unit power be "ON" for much of the servicing portion of troubleshooting. When working on the unit under power, use all of the standard precautions in working with any electro-mechanical device that contains line voltage, high voltage, and rotating elements. Failure to follow standard safety procedures can cause electrical shock, personal injury or property damage. Initially: 1. Plug the unit into a proper outlet. 2. Check the unit on all speeds to see if the blower and motor are operating properly. The power supply light should not operate on the "fan" selection mode. Problem Being Checked: 1. If the motor and blower do not operate: a. Check the top for proper positioning. The top must fit tightly on the unit. Remove the top. Depress the interlock switch with a plastic handle screwdriver to test operation. If the motor and blower operate, then the problem is that the interlock switch is not gettting engaged when the top is on. Reinstall the top and ensure tight fit so activator post can engage the interlock switch. b. With the top removed, depress the interlock switch with a plastic handle screwdriver to test operation. c. If the motor and blower operate, then the problem is that the interlock switch is not engaged when the top is on. d. Check the top to see if there is a broken activator post. e. Check the top to determine if it is warped. If the top appears to be warped, try a new top. Activator Post Interlock Switch Turn the top over and examine it for a broken activator post. Lay the top on a smooth surface. Check it for warpage that could keep the interlock switch from being engaged. f. Check the interlock switch (item 3 of the parts diagram). 5
