Water heaters are common in our daily life. However, some water heaters frequently trip when they are in use. So what is the reason for the water heater switch to trip frequently? How to restore the water heater after it trips? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

Why does the water heater switch keep tripping?

If the water heater keeps tripping, it is most likely because it is old and out of repair. You need to consider buying a new water heater. In terms of specific details, if the built-in leakage protection switch trips, it means that the water heater has leakage. If the indoor incoming line switch trips, the water heater has a short circuit or serious leakage (grounding). No matter which problem occurs, it must be handled by a professional electrician or maintenance personnel.

How to restore the water heater after it trips

First, you need to determine whether it is a short circuit trip or a leakage trip, and then check the water heater's own wires and heating components based on the tripping phenomenon. Also, the leakage protection switch or its own leakage protection plug may trip because the power socket is not connected in the left-zero and right-fire manner.

How to Repair a Water Heater

Common faults in circuit maintenance include abnormal power supply and the indicator light of the water heater is not on. This is usually caused by poor contact of the plug, which causes heat and burns out. Just replace the power cord. Another case is that the power supply is normal, but the indicator light is not on. This is usually caused by the thermostat burning out and the bipolar release being open.

If the release is found to be open circuit, try to press the small button in the middle of the release. If it is reset and the indicator light is on when the power is plugged in, then there is a problem with the thermostat and it can be replaced. In another case, if the power supply and indicator light are normal but there is no heating, it may be that the heating tube is burned out and does not work, and the heating tube needs to be replaced.
