HEATING ELEMENT (See Figure)
All electric heat models are equipped with a heating element.
The EQ08 has a 1.15 KW element.
The heating element contains a fuse link and a heater limit
switch. The fuse link is in series with the power supply and
will open and interrupt the power when the temperature
UHDFKHV °F or a short circuit occurs in the heating
element. Once the fuse link separates, a new fuse link
must be installed.
NOTE: Always replace with the exact replacement.
The heater element has a high limit control. This control
is a bimetal thermostat mounted in the top of the heating
element.

limit control will open and interrupt power to the heater
before reaching an unsafe temperature condition.
The control is designed to open at 110°F ±6°F. Test
continuity below 110°F.
TESTING THE HEATING ELEMENT
Testing of the elements can be made with an ohmmeter
across the terminals after the connecting wires have been
removed. A cold resistance reading of approximately 10.11
ohms for the 1.15 KW heater should be registered.

DRAIN PAN VALVE
During the cooling mode of operation, condensate which
collects in the drain pan is picked up by the condenser fan
blade and sprayed onto the condenser coil. This assists
in cooling the refrigerant plus evaporating the water.
During the heating mode of operation, it is necessary that
water be removed to prevent it from freezing during cold
outside temperatures. This could cause the condenser
fan blade to freeze in the accumulated water and prevent
it from turning.
To provide a means of draining this water, a bellows type
drain valve is installed over a drain opening in the base
pan.
This valve is temperature sensitive and will open when
the outside temperature reaches 40°F. The valve will
close gradually as the temperature rises above 40°F to
fully close at 60°F.
