Bedroom Heater not Working

September 30, 2013, 01:10:27 am

The heating unit in the bedroom failed to operate when I turned it on.  I have a three zone Aqua Hot system. The zones in the front and in the bathroom work fine and the bedroom heater worked last fall. I would like to troubleshoot the system but have no reference information.  There is nothing in my Foretravel manual that is helpful. I suspect that the problem may be in the controls. Can anyone recommend where I can find a control schematic, or offer troubleshooting advice?

Gary,
Barry Brideau's Beamalarm.com website has a wealth of reference material.  These links (Aquahot Heating Zone not producing heat  Technical Help - AQUAHOT) might be a start.

GLV,

Check the plug in relays, located in the AH unit. They can fall out or get loose.

Thanks to all who offered suggestions.  Mr. Rozek nailed it.  The bedroom relay had fallen out and was laying in the bottom of the unit.  All I had to do was plug it in.  The stabs on the relays are very short.  I may devise a method to hold them in.

They came with a metal bail that slipped over the relay and held it in place
