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.

What is the normal wattage of a geyser?
Zero.
What size wire to use to install a thermostat?
Use what is called bell wire or thermostat wire.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a geyser?
Depends on how many amps it pulls and the size of the wire in the circuit.
How much Electricity is used by geyser?
It depends on the wattage of the unit. When that is found use the formula; Amps = Watts/Volts to find your answer.
What is the difference between a single pole breaker and a double pole breaker?
Courtesy of Ace Hardware - I found it on their site · What is the difference between a double pole and a single pole thermostat?Single pole thermostats breaks only one side of the power line to your heater and cannot be turned off. Therefore, power is continuous to the heater even if it is not running. The control knob will have a low temperature setting without an off position. Single pole Thermostats uses only two wires. This means that even if the temperature dial is turned all the way down, voltage is still going into the heater through one line. This may pose a hazard to anyone who might perform electrical work on the heater without realizing that the circuit was still on. You will need to turn off the power at the circuit breaker before electrical repairs can be made safely.Double pole thermostats breaks both sides of the power line; therefore all power to the heater is interrupted. This acts as a safeguard for people performing electrical work on the heater. However, to be on the safe side, you should always turn off the power at the circuit breaker, not at the thermostat, before making any electrical repairs. A double pole will uses four wires and has a off position on the thermostat.Since they are inherently safer, you should always try to use double-pole thermostats, if possible. Another advantage of a double-pole thermostat is that you can turn it completely off and the heat will not come on no matter how cold your room gets. But with a single-pole unit, the thermostat will turn the heat on even if set on the lowest setting.CHECK YOUR LOCAL CODES FOR BUILDING REQUIREMENTS IN DETERMINING IF YOU NEED A SINGLE OR DOUBLE POLE THERMOSTAT BEFORE PURCHASING OR INSTALLING. How can I determine if I have a single or double pole thermostat?Usually, you can tell the difference between a single pole and double-pole thermostat by looking at the dial. A double-pole normally has an "Off" position on the dial whereas a single-pole thermostat does not. The only sure way to tell which kind you have is to remove it from the wall and count the wires connected to it. A double-pole thermostat will have four wires that switches both hot wires whereas a single-pole thermostat will have two wires that only switches one of the hot wires. Can I use a single or double pole thermostat with a 120, 208, or 240 volt heater?Yes. Can I use 1 thermostat to control more than 1 baseboard heater?Built-in thermostats (mounted directly on baseboard) are designed for single heater use. However, it is possible to control more than 1 heater on a wall thermostat if the thermostat rating is not exceeded. Can I mount the thermostat on one side and wire the baseboard heater on the opposite side?No, the thermostat requires power from the supply wires and must be wired in conjunction with the baseboard heater. Is a built-in or a wall mount thermostat better?A built-in control is convenient when the walls are already finished. The built-in thermostat is also convenient to install. However, the wall thermostat is a more accurate way to control the room temperature, is more convenient to use, and has a broader selection of models. The use of electronic thermostats provides more accuracy and saves you money on your electric bill. Can all of the heaters in my house be controlled by one thermostat?There are many benefits to zonal heating. Zonal systems save energy by not heating unoccupied rooms and provide the ultimate in comfort by allowing occupied zones to be heated specifically to individual needs. The purpose of each zone's (room) heater is to heat that specific zone per the set point of the individual thermostat. What is the difference between a low voltage and a line voltage thermostat?Low voltage thermostats should be used when the heater load is greater than 3,800 watts such as commercial heater or central forced air systems.Line voltage thermostats should be used for zonal heat systems such as electric fan heaters, baseboard heaters and radiant heaters. What should I do if my wall thermostat feels hot to the touch?Cadet recommends you replace the thermostat. A hot thermostat indicates that it is not working efficiently; decreasing its accuracy. NOTE: A normal operating thermostat will be slightly warmer than the room temperature by 3 to 5 degrees. Can I use a wall mount thermostat to control my heater if it has an in-built thermostat?Yes, to bypass the in-built thermostat, turn the thermostat on the heater to the highest setting, then use the wall thermostat to regulate the room temperature.

Describe entire working principle of geyser?
Geysers work on a principle of converting electrical energy into the heat energy. There is heating element inside the geyser which gets heated. Cold water gets collected into the geyser tank and gets heated to a certain temperature. There is thermostat device, fitted in the geyser, which cuts off the electric supply to the geyser, once the water inside reaches a certain temperature. It helps conserving the electricity. For the convenience of the users, there are two LED lights are given on the below side of the geyser. Conventionally, these are red and green lights. When the element is heating up, red light is lighted and when the element stops working, green light starting emitting. Emission of green light means the water is hot at the maximum temperature allowed by the geyser. Cold water in the geyser come in through a separate inlet and hot water goes out through a separate outlet.
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.

How do you test the thermostat of your kwikot geyser?
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
Do you need to drain geyser first before removing thermostat?
I'm assuming 'geyser' is a gas hot water heater. -Always best to say if an appliance is gas or electric - If this is a conventional gas water heater then the thermostat will be underneath it, near the gas burner, so the tank will not need to be drained. - - Electric heaters often carry a 'relief valve' on top or on the side, (some people have been known to call this a thermostat.) and this does require lowering the water level before changing, not emptying, just lower than the part you are changing. In either type, make sure the gas or electricity is turned OFF before working .
