NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER
1. 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.
2. Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater
is “ON”.
3. 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.
4. Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the
“ON” position.
5. Check to see the electric service to your house has
not been interrupted. If this is the case, contact the
electric company.
6. Are the thermostats set to the desired temperature?
See “Temperature Regulation” section.
7. 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” section.
8. During very cold weather, the incoming water will
also be colder and it will require a longer time to
become heated.
9. 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.
10. If you can not determine the problem, then call the
Maytag Service Department.
WATER IS TOO HOT
Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. See the
“Temperature Regulation” section.
