HEATING ELEMENT (See Figure)
All electric heat models are equipped with  a heating element. 
The EQ08 has a 1.15 KW element. 
The heating element contains a fuse link and a heater limit  
switch. The fuse link is in series with the power supply and 
will  open and interrupt the power when the temperature 
UHDFKHV °F or a short circuit occurs in the heating 
element. Once the fuse link separates, a new fuse link 
must be installed.  
NOTE:  Always replace with the exact replacement. 
The heater element has a high limit control. This control  
is a bimetal thermostat mounted in the top of the heating  
element.

limit control will open and interrupt power to the heater 
before  reaching an unsafe temperature condition. 
The control is designed to open at 110°F ±6°F. Test 
continuity  below 110°F. 
TESTING THE HEATING ELEMENT
Testing of the elements can be made with an ohmmeter  
across the terminals after the connecting wires have been  
removed. A cold resistance reading of approximately 10.11 
ohms for the 1.15 KW heater should be registered.

DRAIN PAN VALVE 
During the cooling mode of operation, condensate which  
collects in the drain pan is picked up by the condenser fan  
blade and sprayed onto the condenser coil. This assists 
in cooling the refrigerant plus evaporating the water. 
During the heating mode of operation, it is necessary that 
water be removed to prevent it from freezing during cold 
outside temperatures. This could cause the condenser 
fan blade to freeze in the accumulated water and prevent 
it from turning.  
To provide a means of draining this water, a bellows type 
drain valve is installed over a drain opening in the base 
pan. 
This valve is temperature sensitive and will open when 
the outside temperature reaches 40°F. The valve will 
close gradually as the temperature rises above 40°F to 
fully close at 60°F.
