Operational Conditions (cont’d)

HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM WATER IS TOO HOT

Troubleshooting Guide (cont’d)

This water heater is equipped with an automatic gas shut off sys

tem, The high temperature shut off is built into the gas control

valve. This system shuts off the gas supply to the water heater

burners when high water temperatures are present. It is non

resettable. If the high temperature shut off activates, the gas con

trol valve must be replaced. If this were to occur, turn “OFF” the

entire gas supply to the water heater. Contact the Sears Service

Center.

AWARNING

Should overheating occur or the gas supply ^1 to shut off,

turn "OFF” the manual gas control valve to the appliance.

NOT ENOUGH OR NO HOT WATER

• Check the manual gas shut off valve to be sure it is open.

• Check the pilot flame. It may have gone out. All models have

an opening behind the outer door for viewing the pilot.

• If the pilot is not lit, follow the “Lighting” instructions in this

manual or located above the gas control valve on the water

heater to relight the pilot. If the water was extremely hot and is

now cold, the high limit safety temperature shut off may have

put out the burner and pilot. If the high temperature shut off

activates, the gas control valve must be replaced. Contact the

Sears Service Center.

• The gas control knob must be turned to the “ON” position.

• The temperature adjustment dial may be set too low. See the

“Temperature Regularion” section.

• The gas company can check the gas input to see if it is correct.

An underfired water heater will not heat water as quickly.

• Look for leaking or open hot water faucets. Make sure all arc

closed.

• The cold water inlet temperature may be colder during the

winter months. It will take longer to heat the water and seem

like less hot water.

• If you cannot find what is wrong, call the Sears Service Center.

The temperature adjustment dial may be set too high. See the

“Temperature Adjustment” section.

NOTE: A period of time is necessary after an adjustment

has been made for the water temperature to reach the new

temperature setting.

If lower temperature settings will not lower the water tempera

ture, call the Sears Service Center.

AWARNING

Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the

water temperature in certain situations may be hotter

than the thermostat setting.

Short, frequent draws of hot water ■ especially with very

cold incoming water • can shock the thermostat into brief

operation resulting in hotter and hotter layers of water

closer to the top of the tank.

Chruiges in hot water uss^e patterns or raising the tem

perature differential between the cut-on of the thermo

stat and the cold water temperature will usually eliminate

the problem.
