In some water areas, scale or mineral deposits will build up on your heating elements. This buildup will cause a rumbling noise.

Follow "Element Cleaning/Replacement" instructions to clean and replace the elements.

HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

The water heater has a high limit shut off system with a reset button located in the upper thermostat.

Follow the resetting instructions which refer to the high limit behind the upper access panel.

NOTE_ If your water heater is connected to an "OFF PEAK" clock, and uses the 3 wire lead" wiring diagram in the

"Wiring Diagram" section, then the water heater will have a hi-limit on both the upper and lower thermostats. Follow the instructions to reset the hi-limit behind the upper and lower access panels.

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 your 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 electric company.

Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature? See "Temperature Regulation" section.

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.

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 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 "Temperature

Regulation" section.
