Technical manual summary
Tech sheet W11175222A organizes service work around recorded faults, sensor feedback and component tests. Its service guide covers power and connection checks before parts are condemned, followed by diagnostic-mode navigation and a staged diagnostic cycle. The document identifies these as procedures for service technicians.
The fault table associates F1E1 with the main control (ACU) or a missing heater-relay voltage indication. F3E1 covers an open or shorted exhaust thermistor and includes a possible connection issue. Those descriptions lead into specific tests; they do not replace checking the wiring, control configuration and appliance-specific sheet.
Test 4 addresses both no heat and heat that will not shut off. It separates electric and gas equipment and covers the heater circuit, thermal protection and temperature sensing. The diagnostic chart also explains a check-vent notification. Electrical measurements and component access belong to a qualified technician; the document is not an owner maintenance guide.
