Possible causes
Lamp not connected
Faulty lamp
No current
Thermostat safety limiting device
tripped
Drawing tap/s open
Leak in system hot water section
Thermostat connectors not
correctly inserted in heating
element
Heating element interrupted
Element line overloaded or heating
element earthed causing tripping of
protection device
Anomalous level of water
hardness.
Water causing scaling.
Internal pressure greater than or
equal to 0.7 Mpa (7 bar). (Often
due to normal water expansion
during heating)
GENERAL NOTES
Condensation
Hot and cold water flexible
connectors
Leaks from heating element
Leak from anode cap
Cures and explanations
Reconnect the lamp and thermostat.
Replace lamp
Reinstate the mains power supply
Reset the thermostat. Call qualified personnel. See notes on "Safety limiting
device"
Check and close any hot water drawing taps even left partially open.
Have a qualified plumber check the plumbing system; a small leak can activate
the heating element often or continuously.
Remove the thermostat and check the connectors (thermostat and heating
element). Call qualified personnel.
Check electrical continuity and insulation and replace the heating element if
necessary. Call qualified personnel.
Disconnect any other electrical appliances or call qualified personnel to replace
the heating element
Scale on the heating element causes an uneven and violent heat exchange in
the places where it has come off. The definitive solution is to install a water
softener (A dispenser may not be sufficient).
The system cannot "absorb" the water expansion in heating. To avoid dripping
install an expansion tank or connect the safety valve to a drain.
See the relevant section "Dripping from water safety unit" and "Expansion tank".
Leaks are generally seen at the bottom of the appliance.
Always check for leaks in the SOURCE ZONES indicated below.
Dripping can occur if the water in the tank is cold. Always check for leaks with the
water hot.
Check tightness and replace the gaskets.
Tighten down and check tightness
Check tightness, replace gasket and tighten securely. Replace the heating
element if faulty.
Inspect the zone immediately around the anode cap. If wet replace the anode
and related gasket. Tighten down and check tightness
