ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Verify that the new preheater is heating.  If not, check the F4 fuse on the CH-A/CH-30A PCB or F3 and F7-F10 on the CM-A PCB

Use the correct APH for your model: What is the part number for the ACQUITY Active Preheater (APH)? - WKB7232

In certain cases the observed issue might be due to worn contact surfaces on the active preheater itself. Try to clean the contact surfaces before replacing the active preheater.
