Determine Tank Temperature

Thermal Well Testing (cont’d)

Determine the correct resistance values using the Determine the Water Temperature Inside the Tank procedure on page 23. If the values are correct, replace the gas con- trol, otherwise replace the thermal well.

Determine Water Temperature Inside Tank

WARNING

Stored water may be HOT when performing the following steps in this procedure. Take necessary precaution to pre- vent personal injury.

Note: It is important to understand once the resistance for the thermal well is deter- mined using the Thermal Well Testing Procedure on page 21, water flow through the water heater should not occur. Prior to performing the steps below, turn off the cold water supply to the water heater. This will prevent cold water flow into the tank affect- ing the resistance value of thermal well.

Step 1. Move the gas control power switch to the “OFF” position.

Step 2. Draw approximately 4 gallons of water from the drain valve into a con- tainer and discard. Draw an additional gallon and immediately measure the water tem- perature using an accurate thermometer. It may be necessary to open a hot water fau- cet to allow heater to drain.

Step 3. Using the chart on page 23, determine the correct resistance value for the water temperature from Step 2.

Example: If temperature of water is 84°F, then the resistance through the sensor

would be 8449 (see shaded area). NOTE: Sensor resistance increases as the tem- perature falls.
