Ambient / Internal Control Compartment Overtemperature
Symptom
Condensation or water droplets appear on the outside of the heater.
Condensation Due to Temperature Difference or Minor Seepage
Symptom
Digital display is blank, but power is present at the heater.
Failed Display Module or Low-Voltage Power Supply
Symptom
Heater cycles on and off very frequently, even with little water usage.
Short Cycling Due to Sensor Placement or Control Logic
Symptom
Heater does not respond to remote control or Wi-Fi app, but heats normally.
Remote Communication Failure
Symptom
Heater emits a metallic or rusty smell from hot water.
Corroded Tank or Anode Depletion
Symptom
Heater emits a rotten egg (sulfur) smell from hot water.
Reaction Between Magnesium Anode and Sulfates in Water
Symptom
Heater installed horizontally does not provide expected hot water volume.
Incorrect Orientation or Piping for Horizontal Model
Symptom
Heater makes loud popping or crackling noises during heating.
Limescale Buildup on Heating Element
Symptom
Heater outer casing feels unusually hot to the touch.
Insulation Degradation or Local Overheating
Symptom
Heater trips the circuit breaker or RCD as soon as it is switched on.
Electrical Short Circuit or Earth Leakage
Symptom
Heater vibrates or makes humming/buzzing noises when heating.
Loose Mounting or Electrical Hum
Symptom
Hot water runs out very quickly compared to heater capacity.
Insufficient Effective Storage or Mixing Issue
Symptom
Mechanical thermostat knob is stiff or cannot be turned.
Seized Mechanical Thermostat or Knob Mechanism
Symptom
No hot water at all; water from taps is cold, and heater is not consuming power (no indicator light).
No Power Supply to Heater
Symptom
No hot water, but power indicator is on; tank remains cold.
Failed Heating Element
Symptom
Water drips from the safety valve discharge pipe, especially when heating.
Normal Thermal Expansion or Faulty Safety / Pressure Relief Valve
Symptom
