Inadequate weather protection of Kripsol heater, Water entering control compartment, Dampness on ignition or flame sensor wiring, Poor cabinet sealing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before opening the heater. Do not operate the heater with panels removed in the rain.
- Inspect seals: Check door gaskets and cable entry points on the Kripsol cabinet for gaps. Replace damaged gaskets.
- Dry components: Use a dry cloth and gentle warm air (not open flame) to dry the control board, connectors, and ignition wiring.
- Improve shelter: If the heater is fully exposed, consider installing a roof or weather hood that complies with Kripsol clearance requirements.
- Corrosion check: Look for green or white corrosion on terminals and clean with contact cleaner. Replace severely corroded connectors.
