NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER

1.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.

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.Is the thermostat 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 will 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 abnormal demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible water leaks.

10.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.
