Troubleshooting Guide (cont'd)
NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
In a new installation, the water heater may not be properly
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 heater.
• Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater is
"ON".
• Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater circuit.
Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not handle their
rated load and should be replaced.
Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the "ON"
position.
Check to see the electric service to your house has not been
interrupted. If this is the case, contact the electric company.
• Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature? See
"Temperature Regulation" section.
• If you had experienced very hot water and now no hot
water, the problem may be due to the high temperature shut
off system. See _High Temperature Shut Off System" in the
Troubleshooting Guide section.
• During very cold weather, the incoming water will also be
colder and it will require a longer time to become heated.
• The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the water
heater. If so, wait for water heater to recover after abnormal
demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible water
leaks.
• If you can not determine the problem, then call the Sears
Service Department.
