Repair Information

Do not field repair the TE-6800 temperature sensors. 
As with any electrical device, keep the air vents clean 
and free from dust or obstruction. If the TE-6800 
temperature sensor fails to operate within its 
specifications, replace the unit. For a replacement 
sensor, contact the nearest Johnson Controls 
representative.
