Operational Conditions

SMELLY WATER

In each glasslined water heater there is installed at least one

anode rod (see parts section) for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between this

rod and the water. The most common complaint associated with the anode rod is one of a rotten egg smell . This odor is derived

from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop:

a. a concentration of sulfate in the supply water.

b.little or no dissolved oxygen in the water.

c.a sulfate reducing bacteria within the water heater. (This harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.)

d.an excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by the corrosion protective action of the anode.

Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active material,

and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all hot water

lines. Contact Sears Service for further information concerning

an Anode Replacement Kit #9001453 and this Chlorination Treatment.

lfthe smelly water persists afterthe anode replacement and chlo- rination treatment, we can only suggest that continuous chlori- nation and filtering conditioning equipment be cor_sidered to eliminate the water problem.

Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.

AWARNING

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogengas can be produced in a hot water systemthat hasnot been usedfor a long peried oftime

(generallytwo weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is ext_mely flammable and explosive.To preventthe possibilityof injury

Possible noises due to expansion and contraction of some metal parts during periods of beat-up and cool-down do not represent harmful or dangerous conditions.

Condensation causes sizzling and popping with the burner area

Kenmore 153.330551, 153.330451 Troubleshooting Guide contd, Operational Conditions, Smelly Water, AIR in HOT Water Faucets

153.3304OI, 153.330551, 153.330451, 153.330751, 153.330701 specifications

The Kenmore 153 series of dehumidifiers, including models 153.330501, 153.330701, 153.330451, 153.330751, and 153.330551, represent a versatile lineup designed to tackle moisture control in residential spaces. These dehumidifiers are essential appliances for maintaining optimal humidity levels, which can contribute to improved air quality and comfort in homes, especially in areas prone to dampness.

One of the main features of the Kenmore 153 series is their considerable moisture removal capacity. These models are engineered to effectively extract moisture from the air, with capacities ranging from 30 to 70 pints per day, allowing them to handle spaces of various sizes from small rooms to larger basements. This makes them ideal for both typical home environments and more humid settings.

Technologically, the Kenmore 153 series includes advanced humidistats that allow for precise humidity control. This feature enables users to set their desired humidity levels, ensuring that the dehumidifier operates only when necessary, helping to save on energy costs. The series also includes built-in continuous drainage options, which can be a convenient solution for prolonged use, eliminating the need to frequently empty the water tank.

Another noteworthy characteristic is their user-friendly interface. Most models in this series feature digital displays for easy monitoring, along with simple controls that make adjusting settings straightforward. This focus on usability is complemented by quiet operation, ensuring that the dehumidifiers can run unobtrusively in the background without causing significant noise disruption.

Energy efficiency is a crucial aspect of the Kenmore 153 line, as the models are designed to meet Energy Star standards. This means they consume less energy while delivering effective performance, making them an environmentally friendly choice in moisture management.

Additionally, these models often come equipped with features such as washable filters that help to reduce airborne allergens and ensure cleaner air. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues, creating a healthier indoor environment.

In summary, the Kenmore 153.330501, 153.330701, 153.330451, 153.330751, and 153.330551 dehumidifiers combine powerful moisture removal capabilities with advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and energy efficiency. They are a valuable investment for any homeowner looking to improve air quality and combat humidity-related issues effectively.
