NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER

1. In a new installation, the water heater may not be proper­

ly 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”.

cuit. Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not han­
dle their rated load and should be replaced.

“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 the “Troubleshooting” section.

8. During very cold weather, the incoming water will also be

colder and it wiU require a longer time to become heated,

9. The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the water

heater. If so, wait for water heater to recover after abnor­
mal demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible

water leaks.
