Tools required: screw drivers, insulation tape - switch off your geaser, and plug out the power cable from the socket/power supply. Please also close the inlet water entry into your geaser. - remove the outer side of the geyser where the electrical connections are wired. This will need screwdrivers for most of the commercial geysers - Now you will see a big knob with temperature markings (usually 0 - 80 degree celsius) coming out of your geaser tank. - slowly track the electrical connections that is going into the thermostat and disconnect them (usually 2 of them) - Now pull the thermostat out - you will see a long rod coming out from the geaser. Now you are successful in pulling your thermostat out. - Now you want me to reverse-repeat the setps for plugging in the new thermostat in ? :-) - BTW...please note to set the temperature mark in the thermostat appropriately. Usually use the same as it was there in your older thermostat. - after plugging in the new thermostat, and you connect the electrical wiring, close the geyser (with whatever you removed) and open the inlet water entry. You need to plugin the power cable and switch it on again. Hope you find this useful, the new thermostat makes the geyser happy ! cheers, Harish

You can get a thermometer and see how hot it is coming out. Match this number up to the thermostat reading.

How do you know if your geyser thermostat is not working?

Disconnect power to geyser and remove the thermostat. Turn heat selector to maximum and with the thermostat removed from the geyser and electrical wiring, test for continuity between the input and output sides of the (L)ive side. If there is continuity the thermostat is ok and the fault may then lie with the element.


How do I Replace an electric geyser element?

First of all make sure that the power to the geyser is off, test to make sure. you then need to drain the geyser. make sure that the tap supplying the inlet pipe is turned off, open the valve on the drain cock slowly making sure that the water is falling into the drip tray, open the valve as much as is needed or all the way if possible. This will take anywhere between 30 to 60 minutes to drain. then remove the power cable to the thermostat and or to the element. in some geysers the thermostat will sit next to the element and in others the thermostat will be part of the element. in the latter you will need to remove the thermostat by simply pulling it away from the element. you will now need a geyser spanner to be able to remove the element, in some instances you will need quite a lot of leverage as the elements do tend to sit pretty tight. when the element is lose and out make sure that the rubber seal came off properly as well. you'll need to clean it thouroughly before inserting the new element with its new rubber seal, screw it back into place, ensring that you don't cross the thread as you're doing this and fasten properly, insert the thermostat again and reconnect the power cables. do not switch on the power before the geyser is full otherwise you will burn the element out. turn on the water tap to the geyser and open all the hot water taps in your house. the geyser will be properly filled when the water is flowing from all the taps without any air bubbles. you may now switch on the power.

What causes geysers to erupt?

the most common cause for a geyser to erupt is due to a tempreature and pressure problem. many plumbers who dont know how to install geyers properly, plug off the TP safety valve outlet (Temp and Pressure), what happens, the thermostat in the geyser fails and cannot control the tempreature inside the geyser, causing the geyser to over boil, which then creates extra pressure (because of the steam) within the geyser, so when that safety outlet is plugged off the geyser takes an enormous amount of strain, and then it finally explodes. it can be devestating and has known to rip roofs off houses.
