NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
1. In a new installation, the water heater may not be
properly connected. Make sure the cold water supply
valve is open. Review and check piping installation.
Make sure that the cold water line is connected to the
cold water inlet to the water heater and the hot water
line to the hot water outlet on the water heater.
2. Make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is
“ON”.
3. Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater
circuit. Circuit breakers weaken with age and may
not handle their rated load and should be replaced.
4. Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the
“ON” position.
5. Check to see the electric service to your house has
not been interrupted. If this is the case, contact the
local electric utility.
6. Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature?
See “Temperature Regulation” section.
7. If you had experienced very hot water and now no
hot water, the problem may be due to the high tem-
perature shut off system. See “High Temperature Shut
Off System” in the “Operational Conditions ”section.
8. During very cold weather, the incoming water will
also be colder and it will require a longer time to
become heated.
9. The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the
water heater. If so, wait for water heater to recover
after abnormal demand. Also examine pipes and
faucets for possible water leaks.
10. If you can not determine the problem, then call a
local serviceman.
WATER IS TOO HOT
Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. See the
“Temperature Regulation” section.
WARNING
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! Before removing any
access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the
electrical supply to the water heater is turned “OFF”.
Failure to do this could result in DEATH, SERIOUS BODI-
LY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
CAUTION
If the high limit must be reset again, call a serviceman to
find out why the high limit turned “OFF” the electric
power.
5. Replace the insulation block so that it completely cov-
ers the thermostat and element.
6. Replace the access panel.
7. Turn “ON” electric power to the water heater.
