Answer

Unplug twistlock plug from control box and measure resistance across the plug tines. Most heater failures are from lack of continuity. If heater checks OK, unplug twistlock and measure voltage at the socket. If the LED on the pyrometer is on (indicating that it is calling for heat) and no voltage appears, replace the load relay. Or, the dry contact in pyrometer may be burned out.
