Troubleshooting Guide

POSSIBLE CAUSE
• Water is boiling in storage tank.
May be normal during initial setup.
• The unit is unplugged.
• The electric outlet is inoperative.
• Thermostat is not adjusted to
your needs.
• Outlet tube is blocked.
• The expansion chamber isn't
draining properly due to low water
pressure.
• The spout is blocked.
• Debris in the water line may be
in the faucet valve seat causing a
slow water leak.
• Debris in the end piece.
• Corrosion of unit.
• Lift faucet lever to release some water from
the tank.
• Adjust water temperature down using dial on tank
front. Remember that at higher altitudes, water boils
at lower temperatures.
• Make sure the unit is connected to a GFCI outlet.
• Make sure the circuit breaker or fuses are
functioning properly.
• Check that the outlet is not switched off.
• Adjust the thermostat slowly, then lift faucet handle
for 20 seconds to bring in fresh water to be heated
at the new setting. Allow 5-7 minutes for water to
reach new temperature.
• Check that outlet tube is not kinked, twisted or
pinched.
• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
• Unplug the unit. If the dripping doesn't stop after a
few minutes, check the supply valve to ensure that
it is fully open and there are no obstructions in the
water line reducing the pressure below 30 psi (i.e., a
poorly mounted saddle valve, a clogged water filter,
or a partially opened shut-off valve).
• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
• Lift faucet lever 7-10 times to flush faucet and lines.
• Unscrew spout end piece and clean out any debris.
• Unplug and drain unit as described in the Seasonal
Storage/Drainage Section on page 10 of this manual.
If the water discoloration remains after draining and
refilling unit, discontinue use and contact an
authorized InSinkErator service agent.
