NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
1.In a new installation, the water heater may not be proper- ly 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 beater.
2.Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater is "ON".
3.Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater cir- cuit. Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not han- dle 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. Are the thermostats 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
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 abnor-
shut off system. See "High Temperature Shut Off
mal demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible water leaks.
5.Fold the insulation back in place so that it completely cov- ers the thermostat and element.
6.Replace the access panel.
