We just installed two HFG4005MRLN2062 (MUA) after running or about three weeks both units ignition wires melted to a bare wire, Wire rated 205 degree C. Both units were running with proper gas pressures and td across heat exchanger, The only thing I can think of was the unit down drafted clauseing the flame to roll down and melt wiring, anyone had the happen to them or any other ideas??
thanks

Call a *competent*, licensed, insured, professionally trained, HVAC technician to....
1) find out why the rollout safeties failed 2) find out why the flame rollout occured in the first place 3) correct the problems and replace the burnt wiring 4) correctly set up the heaters to operate as they were designed
I once had an ice-cream melt while I was outside on a hot summer day. It was awfully hot. I heard someone tell me to get in out of the hot sun with that ice-cream cone. I went inside to the air conditioning and it didnt melt anymore. Does that help? Bubba
Just too inviting...
did you check for proper venting and make sure that the vent pipes are clean/clear??
the mua comes with a vent cap that connects to the flue box on top of heat exchanger every thing was clear, We have had some very strong winds I was wondering if the wind down the vent cap would roll out the flames and melt the wiring,
no flame roll out safeties? lots of unanswered questions remain....
How about posting a link to the equipment you installed.
The temperature probably exceeded 205 degrees.
Just like the window, you have to lick it before it melts.
Dedicate one to the ladies
