Temperature Sensor and Cable Replacement
Do not remove the entire gas control assembly from the
water heater. To remove the Temperature Sensor and
Cable:
1.
Remove the Electronic Control Module as outlined
above.
Note:
When removing the control module from the gas con-
trol assembly, care is required to disengage the pins on the
valve module.
2.
Remove the Valve Module as outlined above.
3.
Use a screwdriver to pry under the sensor retainer fin-
ger to remove the temperature sensor and cable (see
Figure 31).
4.
Re-assemble in the reverse order.
Note:
Use caution when replacing the valve to not apply
pressure with the hand on the valve pins.
Note:
Care is required to align the pins on the valve module
to their proper location in the control module during re-
assembly.
When re-installing the gas control assembly, we recom-
mend using Teflon tape on the threaded control fitting.
