• Burning gas produces water vapor in water heaters,

particularly high efficiency models where flue temperatures

are lower.

• Large amounts of hot water are used in a short time and the

refill water in the tank is very cold.

Moisture from the products of combustion condense on the cooler

tank surfaces and form drops of water which may fall onto the

burner or other hot surfaces to produce a “sizzling” or

“frying” noise.

Excessive condensation can cause pilot outage due to water

running down the flue tube onto the main burner and putting

out the pilot.

Because of the suddenness and amount of water, condensation

water may be diagnosed as a “tank leak”. After the water in

the tank warms up (about 1-2 hours), the condition should

disappear.

Do not assume the water heater is leaking until there has been

enough time for the water in the tank to warm up.

An undersized water heater will cause more condensation.

The water heater must be sized properly to meet the family’s

demands for hot water including dishwashers, washing machines

and shower heads.

Excessive condensation may be noticed during the winter and

early spring months when incoming water temperatures are at

their lowest.

Good venting is essential for a gas fired water heater to operate

properly as well as to carry away products of combustion and

water vapor.

Smoke Odor

It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke and

odor during the initial start-up. This is due to burning off of oil
from metal parts, and will disappear in a short while.

OPERATIONAl CONDITIONS

Smelly Odor

n each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod

(see parts section) for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain

water conditions will cause a reaction between this rod and the

water. The most common complaint associated with the anode

rod is one of a “rotten egg smell”. This odor is derived

from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is

the result of four factors which must all be present for the odor

to develop:

• a concentration of sulfate in the supply water.

• little or no dissolved oxygen in the water.

• a sulfate reducing bacteria within the water heater. (This

harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.)

• an excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by

the corrosion protective action of the anode.

Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water

heater models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active

material, and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all

hot water lines. Contact Sears Service for further information

concerning an Anode Replacement and this Chlorination

Treatment.

If the smelly water persists after the anode replacement and

chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that chlorination

or aeration of the water supply be considered to eliminate the

water problem.

Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By

doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.

“AIR” In Hot Water Faucets

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water

system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally

two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and

explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions,

we recommend the hot water faucet, located farthest away, be

opened for several minutes before any electrical appliances

which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a

dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there

will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the

pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking

or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

High Temperature Shut-Off System

This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shutoff

system. This system shuts off the gas supply to the water heater

burner when high water temperatures are present. It is non-

resettable. If the high temperature shut off activates, the gas

control valve must be replaced. If this were to occur, turn “OFF”

the entire gas supply to the water heater. Contact the Sears

Service Center.
