Just now, on 6th Dec 2024(Fri) at 11:30 PM, there was suddenly no hot water coming out from the water heater while I was bathing.

I pressed the black button on the left side of the water heater, and now the hot water is working again.

Why did this happen?

are you trying to kill yourself ?

PLease contact befriender if you need someone to talk to

why inside wet ??.. u go and wash the wiring ??..

u better blow dry the interior with hair dryer,.. b4 u sambung the power,..

the brown wire should be connected to the shower head.



Also I doubt water heaters are ip68.

broo… no scare electrocuted ah

even the PCB area is wet,..

if u need to ask, get an electrician man

assuming u bought new unit instead of changing the water reservoir, the internal wiring should be already connected.
U just need to connect the wiring from wall to the unit itself.

its fool proof wiring dont worry if u installed wrong it just wont work. it wont go kaboom

Something very very very wrong in those pictures. I am not surprise someone would get electrocuted.

Don't know
But you will find out when you use it later
Lol

Is this normal design?
I don't recall the Panasonic I use have so exposed wiring and connection.

On electric to test

bottom still leaking?

No,.. u must connect earth to earth (green),..neutral to neutral (blue),.. live to live (brown),.. else the ELCB won't trip if shorted,.. and u'll get electrified water,..

Throw away that water heater. wires connectors all already turning brown and you still using it ?

3 cores cable entry from outside casing

hire an electrician cost about RM80 for heater installation, to save that RM80 for a life... think twice bro

interior shouldn't be wet,.. not only PCB and connecter ,..

Please advice which part wrong..












Joven brand













come with built in ELCB

apo lanjiao both all wet inside?......no kena electrocuted yet ah?

and WTF that joven water heater installed all the way so high to the ceiling, TS 7feet tall OR bathroom ceiling extremely low?

holey shieut
ts not dead yet??

There are things that is not worth skimping/saving for when it comes to money, this is one of it. Please save yourself trouble and safety, let ppl install for you. These are technical stuff that can lead to worse case scenario.

Looks perfect. Should have one more front plastic cover. The one with the buttons and temp control. Knob.

Throw away the heater and trip the heater MCB now.

dont play play, get a professional electrician to fix it

Better used solar heater, wouldn't kena electrocution.

True
How poor Also. Cannot save money on this kind of stuff. Especially when you do not know what you are doing.

Just remove old heater and fix new heater follow back same wiring. What's so difficult?

Noobs here everything wanna call people and refuse to learn.

Why?


Any issue??

ok 1315 on 6 jan 2023 ts still replying

him/her/he/she still alive

a few concerns..

why internal all wet?
possibly the old wiring too short, you will need a longer wiring
best to dry everything and leave a few days before even try to switch on
presently, in current state, it’s very dangerous

the wet interior !!!...

This is technician install wor

Singapore

Fully agree. Water heaters are high current devices, so if the wiring connection is bad (poor contact), then there is risk of electrical fire. Plus in the domestic context, the water heater pose the highest risk from electrocution in the event of earth leakage. So don't try to save money with the electrical installation. Get a qualified electrician to avoid/minimise risk of electrocution or fire.

Sorry, duplicate post

then why all the wiring , connector and PCB is wet ??.. u got check the technician license or not ??..

Kek, brand new but no manual?

if technician install yet you still need to ask... gg la that technician. did he told you need to wash internal 1st before start using?

my home heater install by bangala i also confident they are doing fine...

at times isn't wiring issue... if the screw hole isn't same as previous heater... u need to drill hole o. i b40 thin chicken don't have enough strength to manual drill hole myself.

so confused.

Why technician need spray water all over it? Ur house got no towel to wipe? Why do u need to ask us correct or not installation even after u called technician? Is he even a proper technician or someone who "trust me bro" and offer u help for free?

I have so many question!!!

Water heater wiring usually is 2.5mm but after several years, it will hardened and become crusty. Should change too. Now latest info must use 4 or 6mm. I used 8mm because shit will happen.

I was considering buying one of these as oppose to direct tank pump.... After seeing this... I definitely will get the tank pump.

Kek the L N E wires bundled together?

i assume trolling then i read the username, tabley. this poster has a record of being double digit IQ.

First wrong... This is not for malaysia market?
No current transformer no test button no contactor

Show the model and casing pls

Better buy from malaysia higher standard

Why inside of this water heater look so cheap, I believe there are no safety features in it.

Sorry lar.The houseowner just ask his brother Friend help.....




He is plumbing technician actually

Better use Panasonic

Panasonic also LNE wires bundled together right?

Rip ts

Why there cum leaking at the outlet

Panasonic inside wiring any special?

incoming wire from above. If water spray on the wire, due to gravity will flow inside the water heater then gg.

Just use double insulation wire better

Safer

Panasonic inside wiring any special?


Why manafacterer never cover life and neutral wire but not cover Ground (earth) wire?

Can you explain more?

not bad

nope,.. it's your house incoming power supply bundle together,..



no technician in their right mind would do this,.. if turn on the switch,.. your whole house might trip,..

Why so stingy man

Wow this could be the lowest end water heater. Don't have the built in ELCB (EELS in some water heater) too. And what with the hose? Why reuse the old shower head?

how can u let water into ac circuit ? maybe we can see you on tomorrow or next week's newspaper, im not sure if your insurance cover your death or not, maybe they dont see this as accident, more like suicide.

Either unit defective or technician somehow made some mistake while connecting the water supply.

you dont open up the unit when connecting water supply or powering it up. sequence is important for sensitive equipment like that, and usually device like this require electricians.

There is a chance water might go in from the bottom even with the cover on, with high water pressure even easier.

no, the water connection is outside the unit, water cannot go in unless the bath room is flooding up to the water heater height.

Was referring to your incoming, first picture


Attached thumbnail(s)

real plumber will turn off incoming water b4 installing,.. not installing piping with running water,...

kopi "O" punya technician,.. no matter wiring or plumbing,...

Another suicide attempt ....due to installation of water heater by uncertified tech

Is the water heater missing ECB? Also why the boiler container is plastic.. Macam not design with safety in mind.
Also the connection of the water pipe source is terbalik.

That's why I said the installer might have made a mistake, do you see the ceiling is all wet as well. Water could've shot up from the supply

nothing special. The problem mainly is the outside wire. Water will follow the wire into your water heater if the wire is at high level.

no,.. this the real reason TS is attempting suicide,..

Left side or right side?

luckily our bangla got higher standard than this singapork

inlet is right side.. outlet is left side... you dont need valve at the outlet.

Call tech to install, rm 200-300 only

Refer to this rather informative thread:
Water heater died on me last night, Recommend me a replacement brand?

Cina saying
Sudah beli lembu, beli tali sekali la
Call a qualified installer
Kekwa

Better buy Panasonic with built-in ELCB

Joven without ELCB

Panasonic one long lasting

Rip TS, seriously

https://www.sinardaily.my/article/172257/ma...ot-water-heater

TS want to get in news like this?

Luckily no.If not,i die

Is there a lack of a bypass pipe connected to the hot water outlet pipe or the cold water inlet pipe?


Because now just 3 months,this heater spoiled again.


Big leaking issue.


But this house water pressure is very big.....







This post has been edited by plouffle0789: May 28 2024, 09:09 PM

If this happen 2nd time, the heater shouldn't be use anymore. The plastic pipe is weak and cannot stand the water pressure.

Got to check the actual water pressure. Find a better spec heater that can stand the pressure.

Normally the electrician doing this is to makesure nobody ON the switch when he doing the work.

If somebody ON the switch, the RCD trip and save the guy working on the site.

It's an old traditional way safety. Doesn't write in the text book.

This is not plastic pipe.It is metal

but if you accidentally jump N and E the house will trip

May I know do this house lack 1 bypass piping to hot or cold water pipe?

It is because safety.


The shower head should not spray water accidentally onto the water heater's outer surface.

Is your house's water heater installed very low?

This post has been edited by plouffle0789: May 28 2024, 10:05 PM

why do you need a bypass?
