			<description><![CDATA[<p>Double check your wiring for PID, ThermoCoupler, and heater,&nbsp; if everything okay then sounds the problem is in PID.<br />But wait for Tim&#039;s comment, we do not know exactly what orAL really means.<br />On my unit, just running the Main power alone, without turning on the motor, my heater can reach 180 degree.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>My guess would be that it means open relay alarm. It is not seeing the system get up to temp in an expected time so it is assuming the relay controlling the heater is defective in some way.</p>]]></description>
