PROCEDURE
INSPECT WATER INLET SUB-ASSEMBLY WITH THERMOSTAT
Tech Tips
The valve opening temperature is inscribed on the thermostat.
Immerse the thermostat in the water, then heat the water gradually.
CAUTION:
Do not your hands into the water that has been heated for the inspection.
Touching the heated water could result in burns.
Check the valve opening temperature of the thermostat.
| Standard valve opening temperature |
|---|
| 80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F) |
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace the water inlet sub-assembly with thermostat.
| *a | Valve Lift |
Check the valve lift.
| Standard valve lift |
|---|
| 8.0 mm (0.315 in.) or more at 95°C (203°F) |
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the water inlet sub-assembly with thermostat.
Check that the valve is fully closed when the thermostat is at low temperature (below 40°C (104°F)).
If not fully closed, replace the water inlet sub-assembly with thermostat.
