SEE AIR IS NOT HITTING FLOOR SYMPTOMS
ELECTRICALLY HEATED MODELS
•
Switch turned to "ON" position
•
Thermostat not set properly
•
Coils burned out due to lack of air
•
Automatic reset thermal cutout failed in open position
•
Manual reset thermal cutout tripped (if supplied)
•
Speed sensor not detecting trigger rotation
•
Without speed adjustment, failed speed sensor
•
Thermostat in wrong location - thermostat too
close to discharge
•
Improper voltage
•
Thermostat not set properly
•
Speed sensor not detecting trigger rotation
•
Incorrect speed range
•
Thermostat in wrong location
•
Thermostat not set properly
•
Insufficient air over coil
•
Improper voltage
STEAM/HOT WATER HEATED UNITS
•
Too high steam/hot water pressure
•
Inadequate air flow, fins plugged up, dirty coils
•
Insufficient removal of condensation (steam)
•
Not enough steam pressure/water temperature too low
•
Intake air below design temperature
•
Check power source, check method of control in ON
position
•
Replace fuse(s)/reset breaker
•
Internally protected motor - should reset automatically
after cool-down, if not, replace motor.
•
Replace switch
•
Replace fan sleeve/reengage coupling
•
Tighten set screws/tighten fan on shaft
•
Turn switch to "ON" position
•
Repair or replace limit switch

replace sensor
•
Adjust nozzle to proper position, adjust motor speed; see
installation instructions
•
Remove obstruction or reposition air curtain (move out
3/8" for every 1" up from the door)
•
Relieve negative pressure by providing makeup air
•
Tighten set screws
•
Repair or replace motor
•
Adjust nozzle angle to outside
•
