Why is the Fault light lit and why won't my EASYHEAT heat my part?

Wayne says: EASYHEAT monitors itself to ensure your safe operation. The *Fault light tells you that a condition exists that prevents heating.

Check:
  • cooling water turned on?
  • flow switch connected at rear panel?
  • induction coil is clean, NOT shorted?

    If, after ensuring the above are OK, re-try HeatOn. Read your manual for more guidance.
