The Wacker Neuson Control Cable is a genuine OEM component designed for the E5000 Ground Heater and CH5000 Cross Heater series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cable meets the exact specifications of the original part installed at the factory. It is confirmed to fit gas burner and diesel burner configurations across both the E5000 and CH5000 product families, including generator-equipped variants.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original cable length, end-fitting, and sheath specifications — ensuring correct actuation travel and response in the heater's control system.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Engineered to swap in at the original attachment points with no cutting, splicing, or bracket modifications needed.
- Broad Heater Family Coverage: — Compatible with E5000 Ground Heaters (gas and diesel burner variants, including 12kW generator-equipped models) and CH5000 Cross Heaters with oil burner and generator configurations.
- Consistent Burner Control: — A properly functioning control cable delivers smooth, accurate input to the burner assembly; a frayed or stretched cable can cause erratic heat output or prevent the heater from cycling correctly.
- Fuel System Safety Relevance: — On ground and cross heaters, the control cable is part of the burner regulation pathway; using a correctly rated OEM cable helps maintain safe, predictable fuel control operation.
The control cable transmits operator input to the burner assembly, regulating fuel flow and heat output on Wacker Neuson ground and cross heaters. When the cable stretches, kinks, or breaks, the operator loses precise control over the burner — leading to inconsistent heating, failure to ignite, or an inability to shut the burner down cleanly. Replacing a worn cable with the correct Wacker Neuson 5000170367 restores full, predictable control over the heater's output.
