During the use of electric water heaters, it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another.
Let's take a look at how to solve common problems~
Water droplets drip out of the small hole of the safety valve? Water droplets drip out of the small hole of the safety pressure relief valve. This is because the pressure of the inner tank of the water heater increases during the heating or heat preservation process of the electric water heater, which causes a small amount of water to drip out. This is generally a normal phenomenon.
Solution:
Close the water inlet valve and adjust the knob of the water mixing valve to a high temperature to avoid the water leakage of the one-way safety valve and make the water drip out from the shower. If the water mixing valve is not pressed, the hot water valve can be opened a little, and the pressure can be released here.
Leakage during water heater use? 1. If there is no water leakage, the reason is that the live wire of the power supply collides with the conductive part of the casing. Check the leakage, insulate all power cord connectors, and check whether the power cord is damaged or aging.see more:40 gallon tall gas water heater
- If there is no leakage when it is not heated, it will leak after filling up with water. The reason is that the shell of the heating tube of the electric water heater burns through and the water conducts electricity to cause leakage. Replace the heating tube.
03 The water heater is not heating? The reason why the electric water heater is not heating should be analyzed according to whether the heating lamp of the water heater is on or not:
(1) The heating indicator light is on
Reason: The heating pipe is burned out or the connection end of the heating pipe is in poor contact or disconnected;
Solution: Check the line connection and replace the heat pipe;
(2) The heating indicator light is off
Reason 1: The power socket of the water heater plug may be out of power, you can unplug the plug and test it with an electric test pen;
Reason 2: If the temperature limiter of the electric water heater is faulty or damaged, it will also cause the electric water heater to not be powered on, so that it does not light up or heat, and a temperature limiter needs to be replaced;
Reason 3: Damage to the thermostat can also cause such failures, and the thermostat needs to be replaced in time.Also read:best 50-gallon gas water heater
1) The electric water heater must be filled with water first, then turned on for heating, and can be used after preheating. If the pressure of the water source drops or the water stops suddenly, it is best to turn off the power.
(2) After turning on the power, click the switch button to set the temperature of the electric water heater. Usually, the bath water temperature at home can be set to 40 to 50 degrees to prevent burns from being too high.
(3) For households that do not often use electric water heaters, the frequency of use is not high. Such households should turn on the electricity for heating one hour before bathing, and turn off the power after taking a bath. Normally, the water heater is turned off, which can save electricity bills.
