How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and isolate water supply. System water may be hot and under pressure.
- Check for debris: Remove and inspect any inlet strainers or filters that could restrict flow to the water control valve.
- Listen for valve operation: With power restored briefly and a hot water demand present, listen for the water control or bypass valve actuating. Lack of sound may indicate a failed actuator.
- Inspect wiring: Ensure connectors to the water control valve or bypass valve are secure and undamaged.
- Professional service: Replacement of the water control valve or bypass assembly should be performed by a qualified technician, as it involves draining and refilling the system.
