Overheat Cutoff Fuse • The overheat cutoff fuse is a thick white wire (similar to a fusible link) that wraps around the heat exchanger. • When the fuse is intact, the heater senses continuity through the fuse, indicating the fuse is okay. • When the fuse is broken internally (or melted due to high temperatures), there will be no continuity and an A2 error code will be generated. c. Inspect the gaskets for any burned or melted sections. d. Inspect the viewing window on the heat exchanger for any cracks in the window or breaks around the window gasket. 4. Verify that the plug connector between the overheat cutoff fuse (red wires) and the control unit is firmly connected (Fig. 1). 5. Disconnect the plug connector and check the resistance on the white overheat fuse (red wires, see Fig. 1): a. A good fuse should read approximately 1 Ω. b. A failed fuse will read as an open line (no continuity). 6. If items 1 through 4 check out okay, but the fuse measures as an open line, the A2 error may have been caused by a pinched or failed fuse. 7. If the fuse has failed (open line), it should be replaced with a retrofit flue gas limiter (Part number 8 700 400 032). The flue gas limiter looks very different than the overheat cutoff fuse but serves the same purpose. 8. Refer to Bulletin TWH-G2-29 for installing the retrofit flue gas limiter. 9. The overheat fuse and the flue gas limiter should not be confused with the overheat sensor (ECO) on the upper right corner of the heat exchanger. (The ECO serves an entirely different function and prompts a different – E9 – error code.) Tools needed: • Ohmmeter/ multimeter • Phillips head screwdriver Figure 1 Overheat fuse Procedure 1. Press the reset button on the control panel of the heater to attempt to clear the error code. If the error code does not reset or continues to reoccur, proceed with the following troubleshooting steps. 2. Confirm that the heater is installed according to the specifications in the manual. a. The exhaust vent must be sealed single wall, AL29-4C stainless steel not to exceed 26 feet. b. The air intake pipe must not exceed 26 feet. 3. Inspect the heat exchanger for signs of exhaust leakage: a. Perform a visual inspection of the heat exchanger, looking for any signs of cracks or burn marks. b. Visually inspect the gaskets on the top and bottom of the heat exchanger to ensure the gaskets are properly seated.

Flue Gas Limiter • The flue gas limiter trips (creating an open circuit) when temperatures in the upper chamber exceed 220 °F. • The limiter will reset itself (closing the circuit) when it cools off, but the error will still have to be reset manually using the reset button on the control board.
