Скачать или смотреть Why Does My Water Heater Keep Shutting Off?

Stepping into a cold shower is not a pleasant way to start or finish your day. If you find yourself in this situation, there are many reasons as to why your water heater keeps shutting off.

For those who don't know, a water heater works by collecting cold water from the bottom, and then this water is heated either by gas or electricity and stored until needed. When the hot water is required, it travels through your home's hot water pipes to the faucet or appliance. When the water levels in the tank drop, it will refill and heat again.

So what are the reasons for your water heating shutting off?

Gas supply
If your water heater relies on gas, the pilot light will not stay lit if there is not enough gas. Check the valves to ensure they are open, and gas is getting to the light.

Dirty pilot light
An unmaintained water heater can result in a build-up around the pilot light. If enough grime has been building up, it could result in moving the adjustment knob that controls the size of the flame.

Bad electrical
This applies to electrical water heaters, electrical parts can wear out over time. A sign of bad electrical is when everything else is working, but the unit won't turn on. Sometimes the issue could be the thermostat or heating coil. Another sign for bad electrical is when the unit shuts down each time hot water is needed, this could be a breaker issue, and an electrician is required to fix the problem.

Thermocouple
The thermocouple detects when the pilot light is on if no heat from the light is detected, then the unit assumes the light is off and will shut down the gas. Dirt build-up is usually the cause of this. Regular maintenance will ensure this doesn't happen.
