Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By

doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.

“AIR” IN HOT WATER FAUCETS

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot

water system that has not been used for a long period of time

(generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely

ﬂ ammable and explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury

under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet

be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before any

electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water

system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine).

If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual

sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water

faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open ﬂ ame near

the faucet at the time it is open.

RUMBLING NOISE

In some water areas, scale or mineral deposits will build up on

your heating elements. This buildup will cause a rumbling noise.

Follow Element Cleaning/Replacement instructions to clean and

replace the elements.

HIGH TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM

The water heater has a high limit shut off system with a reset

button located on the thermostat.

Follow the resetting instructions which refer to the high limit

behind the access panel.

1. Before beginning, turn “OFF” electrical power supply to the

water heater.

FIGURE 33.

2. Remove the screw securing the access panel, then remove

the panel.

3. Fold the insulation back to expose the thermostat.

4. Reset the high limit by pushing in the red button marked

“RESET”.

FIGURE 34.

5. Replace the insulation so that it completely covers the

thermostat and element.

6. Replace the access panel.

7. Turn “ON” electric power to the water heater.

If the high limit must be reset again, call Sears Service Department

to ﬁ nd out why the high limit turned “OFF” the electric power

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. Is the thermostat 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 Sears

Service Department.

WATER IS TOO HOT

Adjust the thermostat to a lower setting. See the Temperature

Regulation section.
