Why is there no hot water when the water heater is installed in the kitchen and toilet? What should I do if there is no hot water when the water heater is installed in the kitchen and toilet?

We all know that water heaters are a common household appliance, and almost all homes have water heaters installed. There are many types of water heaters, and electric water heaters are the most common type of water heaters. The installation of electric water heaters is very particular. Some people install them in the kitchen, and some people install them in the bathroom. So why is the water not hot when the electric water heater is installed in the kitchen or bathroom? Let's take a closer look!

Why is the water not hot when the electric water heater is installed in the kitchen or bathroom?

The shower head is not adjusted properly

For instant electric water heaters, if the shower head is not adjusted to the hot water supply position after the water heater is started, then even if the kitchen can use hot water, the bathroom will not have hot water. Don't think that you understand this knowledge, but sometimes it is often because such a simple gear is not adjusted properly, resulting in no hot water in the bathroom, and the reason cannot be found.

Solution:

Adjust the bathroom shower to the hot water position, which is the left side of the shower. Usually the water and electricity reservations are left for hot and right for cold.

Pipeline blockage

After using the electric water heater for a period of time, if the local water quality is poor, impurities will clog the inlet and outlet pipes, shower head, and filter. After the blockage, the water pressure will naturally decrease, the machine cannot start, and naturally there will be no hot water. In this case, if the kitchen pipes are not blocked, the hot water can be used normally, but if the bathroom pipes are blocked, the water in the bathroom will not be hot.

Solution:

Open the shower head and the water inlet and outlet pipes, clean the filters on the shower head and the water inlet and outlet pipes, and then reinstall them.

Mixing valve core is broken, causing hot and cold water to flow

Sometimes the mixing valve core of the bathroom shower head has quality problems. The damage to the valve core causes the hot and cold water to mix. The water heater is operating normally, but when the hot water reaches the mixing valve position of the shower head, the hot and cold water become mixed, and the direct result is that the water is not hot.

Solution:

Reinstall the new shower head so that the bathroom can use hot water normally.

The internal function of the electric water heater is damaged

Whether the sensor device, thermostat, heating rod or other parts installed in the electric water heater in the kitchen are damaged, the water heater will not produce hot water.

Solution:

If the internal parts of the electric water heater are damaged, it is recommended to find a professional to check and repair it. Let professionals do professional things, and do not dismantle and repair it privately.

Where is the water heater usually installed?

Water heaters can generally only be installed in three locations: kitchen, bathroom and balcony.

According to the heating method of water heaters, there are four common types of water heaters: gas water heaters, solar water heaters (usually balcony wall-mounted solar water heaters in buildings), electric water heaters and air-energy water heaters.

There are two types of water heaters whose installation locations are fixed and cannot be changed according to customer needs. They are: gas water heaters - can only be installed in the kitchen; solar water heaters - can only be installed on the balcony.

Air-energy water heaters are generally installed on balconies - they have a large outdoor unit and a water tank. There is no place to place the water tank in the bathroom, and there is generally no place to place the outdoor unit on the outdoor wall (besides, most bathrooms nowadays are dark bathrooms).

In other words, only electric water heaters can be placed freely according to needs. In fact, we have also seen that the most common installation location for electric water heaters is the bathroom. This just proves that the bathroom is the best place to install a water heater.

Why are water heaters mostly installed in the bathroom?

There are three main reasons:

1. The bathroom consumes the most hot water, so the length of the hot water pipe must be considered. The longer the pipe, the more heat loss of the hot water in the pipe.

2. The number of water points in the bathroom is the largest, most densely populated, and most frequently used. Each water point needs to release the cold water in the hot water pipe before using hot water. If the hot water pipe is long, it will inevitably waste time and water.

3. Hot water is used the longest in the bathroom. During the use of hot water, the water volume and temperature in the water heater can be observed and controlled at any time according to user needs.
