SERVICE (cont.) TANK HEATER SWITCH 5. With the tank heater switch in the "ON" upper posi- tion, check for continuity between the black wire removed from the limit thermostat and the black insert on the terminal block. Continuity should not be present in the "OFF" lower position. If continuity is present as described, the tank heater switch is operating properly.

SERVICE (cont.) TANK HEATER SWITCH (cont.) 15. Set tank assembly inside the hood on mounting brackets and secure with two #8-32 screws. 16. Reconnect the wires to the limit thermostat, tank heater and the control thermostat. Refer to limit thermostat, tank heater and control thermostat sec- tions in this manual when reconnecting wires.
SERVICE (cont.) Removal and Replacement: THERMAL CUT-OFF (Brewers W/Faucet) 1. Disconnect both ends of the TCO. 2. Install new thermal cut-off. 3. Refer to Fig. 17 when reconnecting wires. Thermal Cut-Off from Tank Heater to BLK Lead from Control Thermostat WHI or RED to Terminal Block Fig.
SERVICE (cont.) COIL/FAUCET Location: The coil for the faucet is located in the tank. Operation: Water inside the coil is separate from the brewing water and is always under line pressure. Brewing water in the tank heats the submerged coil. Use of a coil faucet during a brew cycle will not cause short potting, but is limited to 8-10 ounces of hot water before the cooler water is passed through coil.
SERVICE (cont.) LIMIT THERMOSTAT If continuity is present as described, the limit thermostat is operating properly. If continuity is not present as described, replace the limit thermostat. Removal and Replacement: 1. Remove all wires from limit thermostat termi- nals. 2. Carefully slide the limit thermostat out from under the retaining clip and remove limit thermostat.
contact terminals. Connect the brewer to the power RECOVERY BOOSTER RELAY (OPTIONAL) source. With the "ON/OFF" switch in the "ON" po- sition and the start switch pressed and released, check for continuity across relay terminals. 7. Disconnect the brewer from the power source. If continuity is present as described, reconnect the blue and black wires to the relay contact terminals.
SERVICE (cont.) Connect the brewer to the power source. The TIMER (Early Models) indication must be: a) 120 volts ac for two wire 120 volt models and three wire 120/240 volt models. b) 200 to 240 volts ac for two wire 200 volt or 240 volt models.
