Tub TCO
If the TCO is open, the thermistor must be
checked. If the thermistor checks good, then the
water level should be checked. A low water level
may cause overheating of stainless steel tubs.
The TCO is located on the right side of the tub,
approximately 16 inches from the front of the tub.
The TCO is in a series circuit with the Calrod
Heater.
Tub TCO Location
No water or low water may cause the Tub TCO
to trip. Always check for proper water level if the
TCO is open.
The TCO is secured in place with a slide-in
mounting clip.
Venting/Airflow
To remove the vent, the door must be removed
and separated (see the Door section of Tub and
Structure in this service guide).
