Answer Hello J.C., You can pull one wire off of the heater or thermostat to separate L1 from L2. You can now test to ground from the terminal and from ground to the wire removed when the heating circuit is energized. One side will have 120Vac and the other SHOULD also. The side with no voltage can be back traced to the problem. A common failure is the centrifugal switch in the motor assembly []. The red wire from timer terminal "A" carries 120Vac from the timer to the heating circuit. This would be the test point for the timer. The heating circuit has to be broken and energized to separate L1 form L2 to determine the origin of the issue in this test also. Read More...
