NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
1.
tn a new installation, the water heater may not be properly
connected. Make sure the cold water supply valve is open.
Review and check piping installation. Make sure that the
cold water line is connected to the cold water inlet to the
water heater and the hot water line to the hot water outlet
on the water heater.
2. Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater is
"ON".
3. Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater circuit.
Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not handle their
rated load and should be replaced.
4. Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the "ON"
position.
5. Check to see the electric service to your house has not been
interrupted. If this is the case, contact the electric company.
6. Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature? See
"Temperature Regulation" section.
7. If you had experienced very hot water and now no hot water,
the problem may be due to the high temperature shut off
system. See High Temperature Shut Off System in t e
"For Your Information" section.

colder and it will require a longer time to become heated.

heater. If so, wait ror water heater to recover after abnormal
demand. Mso examine pipes and faucets for possible water
leaks.

Service Department.
