Check the items below before making a service call. You will be charged for attending to any condition or fault
that is not related to manufacture or failure of a part.
NOT ENOUGH HOT WATER (OR NO HOT WATER)
•
Is the electricity switched on?
Inspect the isolating switch marked "HOT WATER" or "WATER
HEATER" at the switchboard and the isolating switch (if one is
installed) near the water heater and ensure they are turned on.
Note: Check the electricity supply to which the water heater is
connected. If on a time controlled electricity supply, remember
heating hours are restricted.
Check the fuse or circuit breaker marked "HOT WATER" or
"WATER HEATER" at the switchboard.
•
Are you using more hot water than you think?
Are outlets (especially the showers) using more hot water than you think? Very often it is not realised the
amount of hot water used, particularly when showering.
Carefully review the hot water usage. Have your plumber fit a flow control valve to each shower outlet to
reduce water usage.
•
Relief valve running
Is the relief valve discharging too much water?
"Temperature Pressure Relief Valve or Expansion Control Valve Running"
Refer to
•
Thermostat setting
Ensure the thermostat setting is appropriate. You may choose to have a licensed electrical worker adjust
the thermostats upwards to gain additional hot water capacity.
Warning: Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
•
Water heater size
Do you have the correct size water heater for your requirements?
The sizing guide in the Rheem sales literature and on the Rheem website
