Troubleshooting Signs
If this switch fails or triggers defensively, you will typically see the "AGS" service LED illuminate on your heater's main electrical back-board, causing the system to lock out and stop heating to ensure safety. Common causes for it tripping include a genuine low water flow/overheating issue, bypassing too much water around the heater, or internal corrosion within the switch element itself.
