Determine Tank Temperature

Determine Water Temperature Inside Tank (cont’d)

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 container and discard. Draw an additional gallon and immediately measure the water temperature using an accurate thermometer. It may be necessary to open a hot water faucet to allow the water heater to drain.

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

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

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