Checking temperature sensors

The water heater temperature sensors (inlet water, outlet water, system water, and flue) are all resistance type devices. The
following tables show the correct values for the sensors at various temperatures. Use an ohmmeter to read the resistance of the
sensor at a known temperature. If the resistance of the sensor does not closely match its corresponding table, replace the sensor.
