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.

Your geyser is not working properly Water does not come out of the hot tap?

Check if the geyser is receiving power and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. It's also worth checking the thermostat settings and ensuring the heating element is functioning properly. If these don't solve the issue, you may need to call a professional to inspect and repair the geyser.

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 .


How can I fix a thermostat that is not working properly?

To fix a thermostat that is not working properly, you can try replacing the batteries, checking the wiring connections, cleaning the thermostat, and recalibrating it if necessary. If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to replace the thermostat altogether.
