Product Description

The Braemar Lead Thermistor 6M (Part No. 611136) is a crucial component used in Braemar gas heaters and ducted heating systems. The thermistor plays an important role in monitoring the temperature and ensuring the heater operates within the safe temperature range.

Key Features of the Braemar Lead Thermistor 6M (Part No. 611136):

Temperature Sensing:
- The thermistor is a temperature-sensitive resistor that changes its resistance based on the surrounding temperature. It helps the heater’s control system monitor the internal temperature of the unit.
6M Lead Length:
- The 6-meter lead gives flexibility in installation, ensuring the thermistor can be placed in an optimal location within the heater or ducted heating system for accurate temperature readings.
Control System Integration:
- The thermistor works with the heater’s control board to maintain consistent heating. It monitors the heater’s temperature and sends data to the control board to adjust the heating process as needed. If the temperature goes beyond a safe range, the system may shut down or adjust the operation to avoid overheating.
Important for Safety and Efficiency:
- The thermistor ensures the heater operates efficiently and prevents overheating. It is a safety feature that helps avoid potential damage to the system or unsafe operating conditions.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Thermistor:

Overheating:
- If the thermistor is faulty, it may not accurately detect the temperature, leading to the heater operating at unsafe temperatures and potentially overheating.
Erratic Operation:
- A damaged thermistor can result in the heater turning on and off unexpectedly or operating at inconsistent temperatures.
Error Codes:
- Many Braemar gas heaters will display error codes when the thermistor is not functioning properly, which can help you identify that this component needs to be replaced.
Failure to Heat:
- If the thermistor is not sending accurate temperature readings to the control board, the heater may fail to heat properly or may not heat at all.

How to Replace the Braemar Lead Thermistor 6M (Part No. 611136):

Turn Off Power and Gas Supply:
- Disconnect the power supply and turn off the gas before performing any work on your heater to avoid any risk of electrical shock or gas leakage.
Locate the Thermistor:
- The Braemar thermistor is typically located near the heater’s control board or temperature sensors. You may need to remove access panels or the casing to gain access.
Disconnect the Old Thermistor:
- Once you locate the thermistor, disconnect it from the control system. Take note of how the thermistor is connected to the system, as you will need to connect the new one in the same way.
Install the New Thermistor:
- Install the new Braemar thermistor (Part No. 611136), ensuring the 6-meter lead is routed properly to the correct location. Connect it securely to the control board or temperature sensing system.
Test the Heater:
- Reconnect the gas supply and power, and test the heater. Check that it is heating properly and that there are no errors or issues with temperature regulation.

Conclusion:

The Braemar Lead Thermistor 6M (Part No. 611136) is an essential component for ensuring accurate temperature sensing and safe operation of your Braemar gas heater. Replacing a faulty thermistor can restore proper function to the heater, prevent overheating, and improve efficiency. If you notice any signs of erratic heating, overheating, or error codes, replacing the thermistor may resolve these issues.
