In Degrees F

Sensor Resistance at Various Temperatures

Example:

If temperature of water is 84°F, then the resistance through the sensor would be
8449 (see shaded area). NOTE: Sensor resistance increases as the temperature
falls.

WARNING

Stored water may be HOT when performing the following steps in this procedure.

Take necessary precaution to prevent personal injury.

UPDX SERVICE PROCEDURE VI

Gas Control/Thermal Well Testing and

Replacement

Determine Water Temperature Inside Tank

Step 1.

Position gas control power switch to “OFF” position.

Step 2.

Draw approximately 4 gallons of water from drain
valve into a container and discard. Draw an additional
gallon and immediately measure water temperature
using an accurate thermometer. It may be necessary to

open a hot water faucet to allow heater to drain.

Step 3.

Using the chart below, determine correct resistance
value for the water temperature from step 2.

Note: It is important to understand once the resistance for the thermal well is determined from page 25, water flow
through the heater should not occur. Prior to performing the steps below, turn off the cold water supply to the
water heater. This will prevent cold water flow into the tank affecting the resistance value of thermal well.
