how 2 change heater elements

You have to take the whole outer case apart to remove the elements. If you don't have any power, your thermal fuse or fuses are bad. I ordered mine on ebay for about $2 a piece compared to lifesmart charging $24 for one. Good luck.

I havent had to change them yet. But I dont recomend this heater to anyone.their customer service is horrable and this heater doesnt work worth a dam. my bathroom is 20 feet away from the heater and I cant get any hot water pressure at all. It wont give me any hot water at the sink and the shower it barely comes out. dont but this junk

Had problem with heater elements not lasting and notice the anode was used up. The elements seemed to be acting as a anode and after replacing this they have lasted three times as long as they did before and still going strong. This could have been a coincident but seem to be working right now. Just be carful that you don't cross thread as you install as I had to reach down inside a small hole to get it started with two fingers to make sure it was lined up properly.

You can use either propane or natural gas. There are different connections and a selector switch to change from one to the otherz

Make sure the circuit breaker to the water heater is off. loosen/remove all the wire hold down screws to the thermostat. remove thermostat. put in the new one. ONLY thing to know that a video won't show is make sure the tank surface is clean behind the thermostat as these use the tank itself as an extra ground. the new thermostat must be tight to tank. make sure the tank surface is clean and free of rust.

Its pretty simple. Plug into the wall. One side has a female for your heater to plug. The other side as a female plug for your mister/humidfier to plug into to. The control planel allowes you to set temp. And humdity to your prefered lvls. Set the measurement guage inside the habitiat and let it do all the work for ya :)

It quotes both but I see nothing in my booklet that explains how to change it. I love mine so would suggest you call ThermoWorks customer service number 1-800-393-67434. There are several products and they will probably steer you in the right direction.

I bought a kit that came with two seat heaters (4 elements total). They include a switch for each seat, so the driver and passenger seats have seperate controls.

there are two toggle switches side by side, so you can switch the heater to off, on, high or low.

There are several heaters and depending upon the model/serial number the wattage will vary. The best thing to do is call Norcold Customer Services with your model and serial number and if you know the cooling unit number even better. It is located in the back of the fridge and you can see it from outside the coach/trailer. They will give you the correct part number for your unit - then order it on line via Amazon or E bay and save a bundle. It is not an easy job replacing it as the old unit is usually rusted in place- good luck. I accomplished the job and it works fine.

This is a relatively easy fix. The heating element wires tend to become disconnected over time as the unit is moved about and bumped back and forth. Remove the lower plate, take a phillips head screwdriver and remove the five screws holding the base plate. Lift the base plate and there in the back, odds are, you'll see that one of the wires has simply slipped loose of the connector. You can push it back on and then crimp it slightly with a pair of needle-nose pliers and it is less likely to come loose again.

Not sure, but if the old one is a low denisty 4500w heater, it will work. These heater rods are universal and will work. The main thing to make sure of is to try and take as much build up at the bottom of the tank so that when you put the new heater rod, it won't be surrounded by build up and overheat and stop working. Look on youtube for how to do it. Good luck!

no you have to use 3 40 amp breakers. The heater has 3 heating elements which all require their own breaker.

The heater, light and exhaust fan are wired seperately in the unit. The usual approach is to buy a 3-paddle switch at Home Depot and run supply wires separately. You can also put a timer and a thermostat in series. Or, you can do what I did, which is to mount a toggle switch on the side of the housing to allow u to shut off the heater in the summer!

If you're only controlling heater, then use a 2 wire heat only unit like this one:Heat Only Digital Non-Programmable Thermostat

My heater does the same.I had two since the first broke. I think their thermostats just dont work well.

In order to turn this element to lower power, you either need to supply it with a lower voltage (run it at 120V instead of 240) or you have to drive it using a controller. A controller could be of a PWM style (50% power would be to turn it on for 50% of the time, then off for 50% of the time, but switch really quickly) or of a phase angle control style.Just search for heating element controller and you should be able to find a few companies selling them (or search on forums to build your own)
