Leakage Checkpoints

Read this manual first. Then before checking the water heater make sure the gas supply has been turned “OFF”, and never turn the gas “ON” before the tank is completely full of water.

Never use this water heater unless it is completely filled with water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON” gas to the water heater, see Figure 58.

A.Water at the draft hood is water vapor which has condensed out of the combustion products. This is caused by a problem in the vent. Call Maytag Customer Service at 1-800-788-8899 for an authorized servicer.

B.*Condensation may be seen on pipes in humid weather or pipe connections may be leaking.

C.*The primary anode rod fitting may be leaking.

D.Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your area.

E.*The temperature-pressure relief valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.

F.Water from a drain valve may be due to the valve being slightly opened.

G.*The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.

H.Combustion products contain water vapor which can condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. Droplets form and drip onto the burner or run on the floor. This is common at the time of start-up after installation and when incoming water is cold.

I.Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve. DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible water sources is made and necessary corrective steps taken.

Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage should also be checked.

*To check where threaded portion enters tank, insert cotton swab between jacket opening and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow “Draining” instructions in the Periodic Maintenance section and then remove fitting. Put pipe dope or teflon tape on the threads and replace. Then follow Filling the Water Heater instructions in the Installation Instructions section.

HRN11240P, HRP11240P, HRN11275P, HRP11250P, HRP31275P specifications

The Maytag HRP31250P, HRN31275P, HRP31275P, HRP11240P, and HRP11275P are high-efficiency residential heat pumps designed to provide optimal comfort and energy savings for homeowners. These models showcase Maytag's commitment to reliability, durability, and advanced heating technology.

One of the standout features of the Maytag HRP series is its impressive SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings. These ratings indicate high efficiency, which translates to reduced energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. The heat pumps operate efficiently in both heating and cooling modes, making them versatile for year-round climate control.

The HRP31250P and HRP31275P models include variable-speed compressors. This technology allows the heat pumps to adjust their output based on the heating or cooling demand. As a result, they maintain consistent indoor temperatures while using less energy. The variable-speed operation also means quieter operation compared to traditional single-stage units, making for a more pleasant home environment.

Additionally, the HRN31275P model stands out with its advanced inverter technology. This technology provides even greater efficiency by allowing the unit to operate at various capacity levels. The inverter-driven compressor ensures that the heat pump runs at the optimal speed, reducing wear and tear and extending the lifespan of the unit.

These models are built with durable materials and incorporate Maytag's robust design principles. They feature a galvanized steel cabinet that is powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring that the heat pumps perform effectively for many years. The units come with a limited warranty, reflecting the manufacturer’s confidence in their long-term performance.

The HRP11240P and HRP11275P models are designed for smaller spaces while still offering the same energy-efficient performance found in their larger counterparts. These units are ideal for apartments or homes with limited space for heating and cooling systems. Their compact size does not compromise on performance, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a balance of efficiency and footprint.

Overall, the Maytag HRP series heat pumps represent an investment in home comfort and energy efficiency. With advanced features, reliable performance, and durable construction, these models are well-suited for today's environmentally conscious homeowners seeking dependable heating and cooling solutions.
