92WB Front electric heater
My 92WB front electric heater is not receiving power to the relay
controlled by the thermostat. Does anyone know where the main feed comes from or is routed. It is on the same circuit as the front A/C and the A/C has power. I would appreciate any insight. R.E. (Ron) Marabito, Dallas, TX 92WB40 |

I want to be sure that I understand your situation. The bottom lever on the wall thermostat is set to HEAT. The top lever is pushed to past the room temperature. Can you hear the relay/contactor (behind the front electrical heater) energizing? Let me know. Jack Regards, Jack and Liz Pearce Fulltiming in a 1993 Wanderlodge WLWB |

Everything, including the relay works. There is simply no line
voltage going into the relay. I have jumpered the heater and it is fine. R.E.

So I'm guessing Ron that your next move is to trace the 120V line to find
the fault. Broken wire or loose connection would be a guess. What do you think? On 22/11/2007, ronmarabito2002 > > Everything, including the relay works.

This is true. One problem is the fact that the wire is buried and
cannot be traced visually. Randy has given me a place to start, so that is next. R.E.

O.K. Randy, Rob and everyone:
Here is the skinny on the faulty front electric heat. I went to the junction boxes and relays under the bedroom closet floor. I first checked all the connections in the junction boxes. They are all connected using these 4 terminal push-on splices. I moved all of them. No change in conditions. Second, I checked the three relays. All three were open with the dash A/C switches off. Next I turned the front A/C switch to ON. Checked to see which relay was activated. It was the relay on the left. Checked all the splices. Went back to the front and Whalla!!! We had front electric heat. It had to be a loose connection in one of the splices at the relay. PROBLEM SOLVED. Thanks Randy for leading me to the right place. The other two relays obviously control power to the other two A/C units. R.E. (Ron) Marabito, Dallas, TX 92WB40 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "ronmarabito2002" > > This is true.

Thanks Ron. I'll check it out. When you say the relay on the left do you
mean 'while looking down in the hole'? On 23/11/2007, ronmarabito2002 > > O.K.

Yes Rob. The galvanized box is on the left and the three relays are
in that box. The front relay is on the left. R.E. (Ron) Marabito, Dallas, TX 92WB40 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Rob Robinson" > > Thanks Ron. I'll check it out.
