REU-2532W Series 46 Rinnai
Anti-frost heaters do not operate
1) Are the ceramic anti-frost heaters OK ?
a. # Disconnect connector F
4
, and measure the
resistance of the heater mounted in the water
flow control valve, these are white wires.
Disconnect connector F
5,
and measure the
resistance of the heater in the outlet line
connector See connectors in the first and second
picture to the left.
Normal: 348 ~ 375 Ω
If normal, proceed to b.
Faulty: Replace defective element.
b. # Take an ohm meter and read resistance across the
heater on the face of the heat exchanger. The
resistance across this element is listed below. See
third picture to the left for location of this element.
These are white wires.
Normal: 100 ~ 110Ω
If normal, proceed to check item 2 below.
Faulty: Replace defective anti frost heater
assembly.
c. Check resistance of the two heat exchanger
outlet line heater elements, as shown in the
third picture to the left. Check across each heater
independently.
Normal: 33 ~ 39Ω
Faulty: Replace defective anti frost heater
assembly.
2) Is the frost sensor switch operating normally ?
a. # Disconnect connector F
2
, and measure the
resistance through this switch, measure when
atmospheric temperature is 39 ºF + or – 3 ºF.
See drawing to left for location of this sensor,
these are blue wires to this switch.
Normal: Less than 1Ω
If normal, check wiring harness for defects.
(100 volts AC)
Faulty: Replace the frost sensing sensor.
# If the atmospheric temperature is too high,
cool the switch with ice.
