CAUTION: For your safety, DO NOT attempt repair of electrical wiring, controls, heating elements, or other safety devices. Refer repairs to qualified service personnel.

Possible Cause: No power or incorrect wiring
What To Do: Check breakers at the main electrical panel to ensure it is not tripped. If tripped, reset the breaker. Check that the water heater is wired correctly.

Possible Cause: Overtemperature protection has been triggered
What To Do: The water heater is equipped with software that turns off the heating elements when water temperatures reach a dangerous level. Turn off hot water, wait several minutes for water to cool.

Possible Cause: Flow rate is too low
What To Do: Each model water heater has an activation flow rate. If the water flow is less than this flow level, the unit will not heat water. Increase the flow rate.
