Hi guys need some opinion.
I am using Joven 830i for my water heater. Today i realized there is no green light but the red light is on by itself after i switch on the main switch. But the red light is a bit dull. It will be brighter if i turn on the heater.
Water pump works ok. Tho the red light is on but the water is not heating up unless i switch it on. Normally, once i switch on the main switch the green ( indicator) will light up. Is it just light issue? Coz for now it works ok. It's just the light not function as it used to be.
Thanks for any feedback.

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Nov 24 2015, 07:36 AM) I'm using Alpha with auto earth circuit check indicator. Green light means the earth circuit is fine. Red light means the earth circuit is not ok. If earth circuit is not ok, the heater is still working but if there is any circuit leakage, your RCCB wouldn't trip and it may lead to electrocution or fire. Ask your electrician to check your Joven earth circuit first then check the earth circuit of the entire house. Meanwhile, DO NOT USE any water heater in your house until you find out the problem. Add on: Have you done the ELCB test on the water heater yet ? Does it trip? Also, please do a trip test at the RCCB in the main DB. ok thanks for the input. can u explain ELCB and RCCB? this is the main switch rite? how do i trip test ya? off all electrical items and except the heater? but so far no trip. |

QUOTE(kkm @ Nov 24 2015, 07:59 AM) Yeah, check your manual. Green light is power snd EELS on. The red light is the thermostat on for the heating element. You tried pressing the test button? If it's just a faulty lamp, the test button should still turn off the water heater. yes i play abit bit the eels button and the reset button (both on the side of the water heater). still no green lite but the water pump works as usual. |

QUOTE(aeiou228 @ Nov 24 2015, 12:25 PM) Press the test button. No trips means your water heater is not earth. Very high risk if you continue using it, once leaked, no protection from electrocution at all. Check your green earth wire in the heater and wall socket, make sure it is securely fasten then press test button again. If it trips, that means you have EELS protection. thanks. i'll do that n open the heater. meaning that the heater actually has no problem? it's just wiring issue? |
