ECO and elements are in working order.
2
. Turn power “ON” to water heater.
3. Set multi-meter to “Volts AC”.
4
. Check across terminals L4 and T2 of
upper thermostat (see illustration 24).

Recheck ECO (see page 14).
If ECO is okay, replace thermostat.
B) Rated voltage IS present,
proceed to next step.
5. Check across element terminals
(see illustration 25).

Tank Does Not Deliver Enough Hot Water.
1. This procedure assumes line voltage, ECO and elements are in
working order. Be sure OFF PEAK meter has not interrupted
line voltage.
2. Turn power “ON” to water heater and set multi-meter to “Volts AC”.
3. Adjust temperature setting of upper & lower thermostat to the
Highest setting. Water temperature in tank must be below thermostat
setting for this test.
4. See illustration 24 above. Check voltage across terminals L4 & T2 of
upper thermostat.
A) Rated voltage IS present, okay, upper thermostat is calling
for heat. Go to step 5 below.
B) Rated voltage NOT present, replace upper thermostat.
5. Adjust temperature setting of upper thermostat to the minimum
setting. Water temperature in tank must be above thermostat setting
for this test.
6. Check voltage across terminals T4 of upper thermostat & L1 of lower
thermostat (see illustration 26).
A) Rated voltage NOT present, replace upper thermostat.
B) Rated voltage IS present, upper thermostat is okay. Go to
step 7 on next page.
