Description
In daily life, a water heater is indispensable. It is basically an essential item for every household. However, the most important part of a electric water heater is the heating element. The quality of the electric water heater elementt can determine the performance and lifespan of the water heater. But how can we judge the quality of the heating element of a water heater?
The causes which affecting the performance of the heating element in water heaters:
1.The resistance of the heater element has increased.
2. Failure to clean the water heater regularly
3. The resistance between the output terminal and the insulation housing is abnormal.
As the using time of the water heater increases, the resistance will change. During daily inspections, a multimeter can be used to measure the resistance of the two output wires, If the resistance is found to be too higher during measurement, it indicates that the heating element is broken and should be repaired promptly. Every half a year, have someone come to clean the internal hygiene of the water heater. Otherwise, there will be problems such as slow heating and shortened service life. Secondly, randomly measure the resistance between one output wire and the insulation shell.
When using the electric water heater element, a typical problem is often encountered: the power is on, the indicator light is on, the switch is powered, but the heating element does not heat up and the water body cannot be heated. Based on practical experience, the causes of the fault, the troubleshooting logic, and the solutions are summarized as follows.
Step-by-step troubleshooting process (user-friendly)
External inspection: Check if the protection switch and air switch have tripped. Manually reset them and test again;
Power-off inspection: Disconnect the main power supply. Check if the connection terminals of the heating element are loose or oxidized. Re-tighten them;
Appearance inspection: Observe the thickness of the scale on the surface of the heating element and whether there is any damage or leakage on the tube.
Function test: If the heating still does not occur after completing the above operations, it is likely that the internal heating wire has burned out. It is recommended to replace a new heating element.
Temperature control equipment: Test the temperature controller and probe separately to confirm if the accessories are functioning properly.
