safety. The lower sensor is a 82 ºC
sensor and controls the heating element
function. The lower sensor would be the
problem if there was no hot water. To
see if the sensor is functioning properly,
first unplug the cooler from the wall.
remove the terminal from the sensor.
Using an ohm meter, check for continuity
If there is no continuity (open), replace
sensor as per section 9.
6. Hot tank turned on without The hot power should never be turned on
water in tank without water in the tank. If this happens,
the upper thermal sensor on the hot tank

element from burning itself out due to dry
heating. Once the hot tank cools off the
switch will be reset automatically to
operating condition. See section 7.
