The electric heater assembly consists of three
5500 Watt elements, that are energized as needed
by the electronic control.
Under normal circumstances where the unit is
starting at ambient temperature (below 100°F), all
heating elements should turn on. Above 100°F (in
the exhaust), any number of heating elements may
be on depending on selected cycle, temperature
settings, options and previous state of elements.
Unless there is a high vent restriction or faulty
thermistor, the heater element conditions will be
controlled by the exhaust NTC.
