Types Of Water Heaters
Conventional Storage Tank Water Heater: This style of water heater is the most popular. These kinds of heaters require the smallest initial investment. However, due to the higher cost of electric power, they are more expensive to operate than their gas-powered counterparts.
Heat Pump Water Heater (Hybrid Water Heater): This water heater hybrid can help save money on electricity because it doesn’t directly generate heat. Although they are initially more expensive, this style of water heater is unique in that is uses heat in the air and the ground to heat water. Electricity is in use to move heat from the land or air to the water, instead of the alternative where power generates heat.
Tankless Water Heater (On-Demand Water Heater): The “tankless” water heater features modern technology and can offer nearly endless hot water for your home. These are the latest innovation in heating system technology. By instantly heating water on demand as it passes through, they eliminate the need to store large volumes of heated water in a holding tank, making them the most energy-efficient option available. We service the greater Yukon Oklahoma area.
Water Heater Troubleshooting & Repair:
How To Know If There is Water in the Water Heater?
First: The “Bypass” on the Water Heater should be in the standard operating position. There is a diagram on the water heater or the basement storage door showing the bypass and standard-setting. If you have a (UDC) Universal Docking Center, the Bypass for the Water Heater is probably located in or on the UDC. Other types of configurations could have the bypass valve inside or near water connections to the water heater tank.
Second: You will need to open a faucet and check that water flows equally when the valve is full of Cold and full to Hot settings.
Changing the Check Valve:
Some owners have experienced failed or broken check valves with the plastic units used on some models. If the check valve cracks or breaks, water will leak into the basement and underbelly. Also, a failed check valve may allow cold water or antifreeze (when winterizing) to enter through the hot water outlet to the water heater. Antifreeze can damage the water heater.
Obstruction of the Air Intake:
Check for evidence of insects or other foreign material blocking the air intake or burner tube Air Shutter. Clean as necessary.
Hi-Limit/ECO Switch and Thermostat Assembly:
If the direct spark ignition is not operating, and there is, therefore, no attempt to ignite the propane when the LP switch is turned on, and over-temperature condition may have occurred. Press both reset buttons. Try operating the LP switch again.
LP Mode Troubleshooting:
To activate or start LP mode, turn on the LP rocker switch in your control panel. When the ignition sequence is underway, you will see a small indicator light will illuminate for about 15 seconds to. The 15 seconds will have the control board attempt to purge air from the propane feed line and then will try to light the propane three times over the next 6 seconds. If it fails, the water heater will lock the LP operation for safety reasons, and the light will stay on. To clear the lockout, turn the switch off for 10 seconds and then turn on again to retry. Note that if the water in the tank is already heated, the ignition sequence may not occur until the water cools to less than 100 degrees.
Replacing the Heating Element and Gasket:
Replacement Suburban heating elements may be purchased from most RV dealers, or online. Compatible heating elements are also available at many big-box hardware stores. The standard part is 1440 watts. As of 2013, Suburban offers an item with a different composition that won’t be damaged if turned on with no water in the water heater. When replacing the part in 2013 or later water heaters, look for the newer type element.
Check Neutral before Replacing the Element:
Before replacing the element based on finding the voltage at the component, you should turn off power to the water heater (both switches), and check continuity of the white wire terminal (neutral), to the neutral pin of the closest RV outlet (the larger pin in the outlet). We service the greater Oklahoma metro area.
