PROCEDURE
INSPECT WATER INLET WITH THERMOSTAT SUB-ASSEMBLY
Check the valve opening.
Tech Tips
The valve opening temperature is inscribed on the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
Add 15 cc (0.9 cu.in.) of water to the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly from the inlet pipe side.
Confirm that water does not flow out from the valve side of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
If water flows out from the valve side of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly, replace the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly with a new one.
Immerse the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly in water that is between 87°C (185°F) and 91°C (196°F) for 5 minutes or more.
Note
Make sure that the end of the inlet pipe of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly is not facing downward.
Make sure to immerse the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly in the water as shown in the illustration.
Leave the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly at ambient temperature for 5 minutes so that the valve closes.
Note
Make sure that the end of the inlet pipe of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly is not facing downward.
