Element

Early model water heaters with 110 VAC heating capacity used a bolt-on heating element and a one piece thermostat/E.C.O..

This 110 VAC system has an adjustable rectangular thermostat that is surface mounted to the inner tank and retained by a steel clip. The temperature settings are HI, MEDIUM, and LOW. If the thermostat is making unobstructed contact with the aluminum tank and it is set to the HI position, it should heat the water to 130° F. It will take longer to heat a tank of water on electric than gas.

The heating element was changed in 1996 from 1500W to 1400W bringing the amperage draw down to 12.7 amps and allowing more cushion for the

15 amp circuit breaker that is normally placed in line. This change adds a few minutes to the heating time.

There are 110 VAC aftermarket conversion kits being offered by distributors in which the heating element is screwed into the tank where the drain plug is located. We do not offer such a kit. Our kit includes the tank with the 110 VAC components already installed in it.

In the case where the 110VAC portion of the water heater is not heating water, the following diagnostic steps and repairs should be investigated:

Turn POWER OFF to the appliance before removing junction box cover.

Perform the following steps with POWER ON to water heater.

1.Verify switch-A is in ON position.

2.Insure there is 110VAC to the unit (measure voltage across the black and white lead to the appliance with POWER ON). If none, trace wiring back and make appropriate wire repair.

Perform the following steps with POWER OFF to water heater.

3.ECO Re-set Button-D should be depressed.

4.Check for continuity between screw-B and screw- C of thermostat. If none, replace thermostat.

5.If water is insufficiently hot, check ECO / Thermostat-E is on high.

6.Verify a good wire connection between thermostat screw-C and heating element screw-G. Correct if necessary.

7.There should be continuity between heating element screw-G and screw-F. If none, element is bad and should be replaced. Do not over-tighten self-tapping screws when installing new element.

8.Check for continuity between element screw-G and flange of element. If there is, element has shorted. Element should be replaced.

9.Verify ground connection.

NOTE: Heating element can be operated on an empty tank for a limited period of time before it self destructs.
