Questions and answers
Installed a new space saver hot water boiler today,Is there a reason why it’s not heating up afterinstilation?Does the 2 elements give out at the same time?
The GSW space saver hot water boiler may not be heating due to a faulty heater element. Testing with a digital multimeter (DMM) showed unstable resistance readings, which suggests the element may be damaged. A blown element can also generate gas (mainly hydrogen), causing air-like discharge at the tap. It is unlikely both elements fail at the same time; usually, one fails first, and the thermostat switches to the other. Proper diagnosis involves checking each element individually for stable resistance and replacing any faulty one. Also, ensure the tank is filled with water before powering the heater.
