Troubleshooting
Problem
:
Water does not get hot
1. Make sure the power supply is on and working.
2. If light does not come on, check that the reset button is pushed in; follow steps from previous
section.
3. If the indicator light is illuminated, but water temperature does not get hot at the sink, test for a
plumbing crossover as follows; shut off cold water supply to water heater and open hot
water tap. There should be no water flowing. Any continuous flow indicates a cross over which will
effect the temperature and will need to be corrected.
4. If there is no crossover, then replace the heating element (see previous sections).
