Evcon EB15B not heating properly
Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 11:13 am
Hello,
My girlfriend has evcon eb15b that is not putting as much heat out as it once did. A tech told us the elements were fine and left it at that. I did a little investigating and arrived at your site, which has given me some good places to start. I will be doing some testing with multi-meter and amp probe to see what is going on.
A preliminary look showed the following; when setting the t-stat to call for heat the blower comes on, but don't see a glow from the coils. then setting it back to no heat, the blower shuts down and the coils begin to glow (it looks like a sequence) for about 5 sec., then shut down.
Any input would be gratefully appreciated. I going to start testing everything .
Thank you,
Barry
