I can not get my water heater working.I have changed most of it already.?

I have changed my thermostats,and my elements. I have checked that I am getting power.I had to use a home line meter,and it did not show how much power I am getting,but it does show power in my lines.Any help?I can not get my water heater working.I have changed most of it already.?You say you've changed your %26quot;thermostats.%26quot; Are you talking about the thermopilot valve? That's the main valve on the water heater where the wires connect. By the way, you say you've checked %26quot;power,%26quot; so I'm assuming this is an electric water heater.



First, is it 220 volts or 110? Most are 220V. You need to be sure that BOTH legs of the 220 are hot (220 has two 110V legs). If one is not, you've got to find out why not.



Another thing to be sure of (and I've seen it happen with certain types of breakers in electrical panels) is to be sure that you don't have both of the 110V legs of 220V connected to the same leg in the panel. Your panel will have two hot legs (110V each when checked to neutral, and 220V when checked between the two hots). The breaker, if it's 220V, will have two wires. That breaker needs to be connected to both legs. Some space-saving breakers will have two 110V connections, but both on the same leg.



Not much room here to say more, not knowing specifically what you're facing, or how much you know. But checking the incoming voltage would be the first step.I can not get my water heater working.I have changed most of it already.?Use an amp probe to see if your pulling any current. If your breaker is not tripped and your heater elements are getting proper voltage and are pulling current then I would check to see if the tube inside the hot water tank is not burned in half and or has a hole in it. Remember your hot water comes from the bottom of your tank and cold water comes in from the top.



mikeI can not get my water heater working.I have changed most of it already.?You need to get a voltage meter. Sounds like you are not getting the proper voltage.I can not get my water heater working.I have changed most of it already.?You must have the proper supply voltage in order for your heater to work. You need a meter to read that voltage. Any other device will only tell you that''some'' voltage is present. If everything is connected properly, I suspect a low voltage may be your problem.I can not get my water heater working.I have changed most of it already.?LSF is probably the closest answer to your problem,

you need a different110 leg to each side of the both heating elements, the thermostats break one side of the element,

95% Goodman GMV furnace won't stay lit, code 3?

brand new goodman gmv furnace 2 stage 80k and 115k was running ok after craigslist install, don't have much money. now though less then a week later it lights up then the flame goes out after 1 to 20 seconds randomly. In trying to figure out what changed I can only say...



1) it rained

2) I closed a vent

3) I messed with thermostat (so stupid!!!)

4) its gotten colder in general



1) I mention rain because I noticed the vent going outside has some water in it looking down it from the outside. it runs through the wall not quite level but with the open end a bit higher so I cannot see how it could avoid recieving some rain water. the installer had the purple glue stuff on the end of it outside like he was going to add a peice to the end maybe to protect it from the rain but I don't know. I did notice when the furnace was running (no flame) water coming out of the chimney thing outside. I should mention there is only one hole in concrete block, they said they were going to try some 'new' venting method thing where they only had to run one pipe. So 2 white pipes come out of the furnace and run to a 'Y' like thing to one pipe going through the wall. I looked down the tube outside and only see one pipe so I'm pretty mystafied about that one.



2) I closed a vent to an unused room. the guy who installed it used 6 inch flex for the vent runs and the furnace was very powerful maybe not enough vents? There are 10 vents all with 6 inch flex duct but 5 are nearly completely closed to force air to the other side of the house. ran ok before though so I don't see how that could be it.



3) I read the white rogers thermostat manual and changed some settings. I think I changed them all back after pulling out the batteries and cutting power to the house but not sure about all settings. I read that some anticipation setting is automatic with digital thermostats so that should be working? The thermo has only 2 wires as wires were not changed during upgrade. ran fine for a week...



4) Its gotten a bit colder out and the duct work the guy did is not too good. the house has a finished and insulated top floor and I'm still using the old, very large, return air duct work. However he put in new, not air tight duct for the hot air. the bottom floor has no rooms or walls or insulation, it is concrete block and thusly cold air from downstairs (where the furnace is) is being sucked into the return air drop he did and especially the filter area which is too big. His duct work also shoots some hot air meant for upstairs out downstairs. when it was around 60 degrees downstairs it ran ok but now that it's colder it's not staying lit. however at the warmest time of day now the temp is the same as when it ran ok and it still will not stay lit so I don't think ductwork or temperature is the prob.



So thats all thats changed since it was working right. I know for sure it was running ok before I messed with the thermostat changing settings but not sure thats when it stopped working.



As to what I see the furnace starts up, flame lights and then after just a few seconds it goes out. If the doors are screwed on, when the flame goes out there is a very signifigant air pressure change inside the furnace as I can see and hear the door bend and a gush of air. with the door off this is not noticable.

Also the red LED flashed 3 times after the flame goes out. It then all restarts light the flame again only to kill it and flash the LED 3 times.



Perhaps most telling (I don't know, guessing here) is the flame itself seems maybe not to be shooting hard enough. It's not all in the duct work area but has come back enough that there is a solid line of flame closest to the front of the viewer. I'm guessing the gas is weak and the flame is being detected where it's not sopposed to be and some heat sensor is shutting it down. I tried adjusting 2 screws and 2 hex things that were all next to each other attached to the gas line but they were all already turned all the way up.



So thats the situation. I kn ow the drain is not clogged, not sure whats going on with the intake but the flame still goes out with the panels off so maybe that answers that. code mentions pressure switch problem but I don't know how to diagnose or fix. everything is brand spanking new though.



If anyone can offer some advise you'll be warming a cold family so thanks a ton in advance...95% Goodman GMV furnace won't stay lit, code 3?Sometimes on the Goodmans, when the flame goes out after just a few seconds, it could be the flame rod.



Heres what you do. Pull off the top door, underneathe the burners there is a wire (i think its blue) that goes to a little rod that sticks up into the burners. Take a 1/4 nut driver and remove the screw holding that rod up there.



Take some sand paper, steel wool or maybe even some emery cloth and rub it on the rod, you are basically cleaning it. Make sure you wipe off the rod to ensure there are no particals left on it.



Put the rod back in, tighten the screw, and try to start it and see what happens.



Another thing you might want to check, is make sure there is nothing blocking the exhaust pipe.



Also check the little hoses that go to the pressure switch, pull them off and blow into them, and make sure they are clear of any moisture or debris that may have gotten in there.



Good Luck95% Goodman GMV furnace won't stay lit, code 3?look at inside of door code 3 does it say flame sensor? theres a legend inside the door flame sensor take sand paper to little stick in front of one of the burners with it off lightly sand try again

I need an auto repair website?

Does anyone know of any website that will show me how to change the thermostat in my 2000 jeep cherokee?I need an auto repair website?http://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=msgr-bI need an auto repair website?You can go to any public library and find descriptions and plenty of pictures in either Chilton's, or Motors auto repair manuals. Follow the top radiator (big black) hose to the engine. You will find a hose clamp that attaches th hose to the THERMOSTAT housing. usually two bolts attach this housing to the block or intake manifold. Drain the radiator and remove the housing . The stat. will be at that separated point.I need an auto repair website?I don't know of any website but you can get a haynes jeep manuel and it will show you how. It's really simple. you need to unbolt the cover of the thermostat that is located were you top radiator hose connects to the engine. once off you will see the thermostat which is about 2%26quot; in diameter and has a spring incerted through the middle of it. pull out the old thermostat and make sure that you completely clean off the old seal gasket from the engine and the thermostat cover!(that is the most important part!) then, buy a new one and a new gasket (some new gaskets have a sticky side to keep it in place, if you can't get one get some sort of gasket sealant) and just put it back on! It is very simple and once you do it you will think so too!I need an auto repair website?The website I use is %26quot; WWW.Alldata.com%26quot; used by tons of shops and they have everything on there. there is a fee, but well worth it..I need an auto repair website?If you need a really professional website go here :-

If you have had your heater for more than a few years your better off to replace the whole thing! Besides you may not even be able to find the part in the first place!

How do I change a Sears non-programmable thermostat five wire Heat/Cool to Noma Programmable Digital 4 wire

I have old Sears model with wires labled white -W , blue-G , red-RC , orange Y ,black -RH , and want to change over to a new programmable digital Noma 5+1+1 with these wires green, yellow, red, and white.Can you help me know which posts to put these wires onto.

Many ThanksHow do I change a Sears non-programmable thermostat five wire Heat/Cool to Noma Programmable Digital 4 wiresounds like you have a heat pump. the new stat wont work for a heat pump. there is no O terminal for the reversing valve.



if you really do have a heat pump, a programmable stat really is not for you. heat pumps really want to keep your house at an even temp. if you try to swing the temp too much you will put the heat pump into emer heat mode and spend twice the money that you would have saved.



put your old stat back on, and get your money back for the programmable one.

I have a 99 mercury cougar and the a/c wont cool, already put some of that cooling stuff and still... help?

I already added like a whole can and it started to cool but the air wasnt cold it was just cooler than before, i dont know what it is... is it that i need to change the thermostat or clean the system some how?? any advice??? thanxI have a 99 mercury cougar and the a/c wont cool, already put some of that cooling stuff and still... help?there is a lot of things that go wrong with a/c systems, leaks,worn parts,bad relays,wiring, etc... you really need to bring it to a shop to diagnose it properly. if you add to much freon to the system it will cause MAJOR damage to Components of a/c system.MASTER TECH 28YRS.I have a 99 mercury cougar and the a/c wont cool, already put some of that cooling stuff and still... help?Same thing happened to me but in a different type car: it was a worn out compressor, and it would have cost a lot to buy a new one and have it installed, so I suffered without a/c until I could buy a new car.I have a 99 mercury cougar and the a/c wont cool, already put some of that cooling stuff and still... help?You may have air in the system. If your determined to fix it yourself, I recommend getting a A/C repair manual to help guide you through some steps. You can get them as cheap as 5.00 bucks on Ebay. Good luck with your project.....
