Repairing the heater involves disassembly, repairing of parts, replacing parts, and re-assembly.
It does not involve computer programming
.
Note:
Programming of the control boards for the heater is factory set and
does not require any modification or calibration. Alarms, sensors, and fault
controls do not require any modification or calibration. Any attempt to
override these controls may permanently damage the heater or cause
