Service Procedure X:

Anode Inspection and Replacement

Anode Inspection and Replacement 

1. STOP, DANGER! Turn power “off” to water heater.
2.  Turn off cold water supply to heater.  Connect hose to 

drain spigot of water heater and route to an open drain.  

Open a nearby hot water faucet to vent heater for draining.  

Open drain spigot of water heater and allow heater to drain 

to a point below the elements. 

3.  Close drain valve and remove hose. 
4.  Remove plastic anode access plugs at the anode 

locations. 

5.  Remove Anode from the water heater (1-1/16” socket). 
6.  Visually inspect anode.  Anode should show signs of 

depletion, this is normal.  If depletion is 1/2 of the original 

anode diameter (original diameter approximately 3/4"), 

replacement is recommended.  If any of the steel core of the 

anode is exposed, replacement is recommended. 

7.  Upon completion of inspection or subsequent replacement, 

reinstall anode into hater.  Resume water supply, refill heater 

with water and check for leaks. 

8.  To resume operation, BE SURE HEATER IS FULL OF 

WATER and turn power “ON” to water heater. 

WARNING

High voltage exposure.  Use caution when making

WARNING

Heater components and stored water may be HOT
when performing the following steps in this
procedure. Take necessary precaution to prevent
personalinjury.
