Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: For electric models, turn OFF power at the breaker. For gas models, turn OFF gas if you will be opening combustion compartments.
- Check power: Verify the breaker feeding the Alpha water heater is ON and not tripped. Reset once if necessary.
- Verify gas (gas models): Ensure the manual gas shutoff valve to the Alpha gas valve assembly is fully open.
- Check status lights: Observe the Alpha control panel for any hidden diagnostic LEDs or codes. Refer to the manual.
- Electric elements: On electric Alpha heaters, remove the element access covers, verify power is OFF, then test each heating element with a multimeter for continuity. Replace any open elements.
If power and gas are present and elements or burner are intact but there is still no heat, the main control board or thermostat assembly may be faulty and should be diagnosed by a technician.
