Can anyone recommend me a water heater with pump.

My house water pressure is poor. Currently using a 3600w panasonic water heater for 5 years. After 3 years the temperature setting become haywire. It becomes max hot. Need to put in pail with cold water. Still using this water heater though. Is Toshiba good?

I bought the toshiba dsk38es3mb in 2020. The unit is now slightly faulty. The temperature knob does not show the correct temperature and the temperature keep moving everywhere. I noticed that I need to put more to the redline to get the same temperature. Anyone like this? Is this fixable? It says on the unit 5 year warranty.

I see the problem now. Found a video on YouTube too but for Panasonic. Same symptoms and problem. Need to change the rheostat. Any guide how to do it by yourself? Or need to call technician

Already out of warranty? Check if warranty is only on specific component like only for heater element.

I checked that the 5 years is on DC pump and Heater only. General warranty is only 1 year.

The rheostat is easy to change but whether it is easy to find the similar one. The 3rd party repair shop can do this. I have no idea on charge.

Bought mid 2020. Not sure if rheostat considered heater or general warranty. I see. I will send to Toshiba SC then. But they only work on weekdays. Maybe they can come to the house and remove it from the wall. The technician which installed it did it very firm-now stuck to wall.
