Troubleshooting Water Heaters

  • NOTICE: Be careful of your water temperature settings as they can injury you and your family. Please visit http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/5098.html for more information.

  • There are too many water heaters made to actually list each one.

  • Fortunately, how they work is rarely unique to just one manufacturer.

  • The basic categories water heaters fall into are as follows. (there are others, but these are the common types)

  • Commercial 

  • Residential

  • Electric

  • Gas
     

  • Troubleshooting a water heater requires knowledge pertaining to how it correctly operates.

  • With the evolvement of high technology, electronic ignition and circuit boards are very common on many models of gas water heaters.

  • Knowing the manufacturer and model of a water heater allows you to organize troubleshooting requirements for training or job use.

  • We have compiled numerous charts for that particular purpose.

  • Review the Gas and Electric troubleshooting charts and add to them for future use by all plumbers.
