Thermal Well Testing
with "J" or sooner.)
Position gas valve power
switch to the "OFF" position
and disconnect thermal well
harness from gas control.
Using a multi-meter set to
the Ohms setting,
determine the resistance of
thermal well sensors 1 & 2
(see photos 19 & 20)
Once the thermal well resistance values are known, the water
temperature must also be known to determine if the resistance
values are correct. See page 25 to obtain water temperature.
Are thermal well resistance values correct?

(For water heaters with serial numbers that begin
Using a multi-meter set to the ohms setting, insert one meter probe into center wire
position of thermal well connector, insert the second probe into either of the outside
wire positions (see photo 19).
Alternate the probe on the outside position to the opposite outside wire position
(see photo 20).
