If a '4E' model ----gas & electric use same set of t-stats
Normal temp T-stat (Brown wires)....140*F
ECO (energy cut off/high temp t-stat) 180*F...triggers RED Fault Light and locks out any refiring until reset

Check the T-stat terminals/spade connectors tight/clean and that t-stat is beign held tight
