2. Take a resistance measurement at
the heater element terminals using a
multimeter (in ohm position).
V.2 Electric meter which breaks the circuit
Action to take
1. Check that the meter only cuts-
out when the water heater starts
heating.
2. If you have Peak/Off-peak hours
pricing,
2.1 Switch to forced operation
from your electrical distribution
board.
2.2 Check the position of the
circuit breaker (should be
in the ON position).
V.3 Lukewarm water
Action to take
1.1. Switch off the electrical power
supply to the water heater.
1.2. Open the plastic cover.
1.3. Switch the thermostat to
maximum. See Section III Setting the
temperature.
2.1. Shut off cold
water inlet on the
safety unit.
2.2. Turn on a hot water
tap in the house.
Solution
Null or infinite value.
Value in ohms > 0.
Solution
The meter trips as soon as the
water element circuit breaker
is set to ON.
On a shielded product: Replace
the heater element.
On a steatite product: Clean
the area where the heater element
is located (hollow interior) with
a cloth or a bottle brush.
If the problem persists: Replace
the heater element.
Solution
Leave the thermostat setting at
maximum in order to enjoy very
warm water in sufficient quantity.
If water flows from the hot water
tap, then one of the house's taps
is faulty.
Replace the faulty tap or consult
a plumber to find the cause
of the problem.
Cause
Replace the faulty resistor.
Replace the thermostat.
Cause
Faulty resistor.
Residue in the resistor sleeve.
Faulty resistor.
Cause
Incorrect thermostat setting.
A tap (mixer) allows cold water into the
hot water circuit.
