Troubleshooting Guide (cont'd)
Operational Conditions (cont'd)
NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
• In 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.
• Make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is "ON".
• 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.
• Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the "ON"
position.
• Check to see the electric service to your house has not been
interrupted. If this is the case, contact the local electric utility.
• Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature? See
"_l_mpePature Regulation" section.
• If you had experienced very hot water and now no hot water,
the problem may be due to the high temperature shut of/"
system. See "High Temperature Shut Off System" in the
*lioubleshooting section.
• During very cold weather, the incoming water will also be
colder and it will require a longer time to become heated.
• The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the water
heater. If so, wait for the water heater to recover after
abnormal demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible
water leaks.
• If you can not determine the problem, then call the Sears
Service Department.
WATER IS TOO HOT
Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. See the "*l_mpemture
Regulation" section.
