GAS GEYSER SOUNDS
TiK CLIK CLICK CLICK CLICK TAK PUK
TiK MAGNET CLIK IGNITER TAK SOLENOID OPEN PUK SOLENOID CLOSE
When u Switch ON the Gas Geyser and OPEN TAP , the water flows, magnet censor allows power to the CIRCUIT BOX which provides power to the igniter /starter producing sparks and also to the solenoid valve that releases gas flow to the burners
Normally SOLENOID PLUNGES and recovers on tap OPENING and Closing to
start and stop gas ..If solenoid closes instantly after it starts then there is a problem , need to investigate issue with the plunger or circuit box .
Open the geyser cover and remove the pipes
RELEASE pressure from gas pipe by removing the regulator and loosening the gas pipe NOZZLE on the GAS GEYSER .. Clean/OIL LPG regulator PIN and insides and pipe if necessary ..USE TEFLON TAPE AT GEYSER END AT GAS PIPE.. Clean the inlet mesh on gas pipe and water pipe
When u tighten n reconnect the GAS PIPE please CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGE WITH SOAPY SOLUTION AT PIPE REMOVE all CONNECTIONS with circuits and switch AND CLEAN PINS OF ALL CONNECTORS WITH WD 40 OR IPA AND RECONNECT
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOX FUNCTION
POWER FLOWS FROM BATTERY BOX TO THE CIRCUIT BOX
VIA WATER CIRCUIT SWITCH / WATER FLOW SENSOR THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOX
Battery should give slightly below or around 3v DC ie 1.5 x 2
chk the wireS comming out
of Battery BOX With DC Voltage Multimeter DC CURRENT DIAL 20
CHK IF SWITCH IS WORKING IE THE IGNITER
on the burner with black thick wire WILL spark and GO TAK TAK TAK
LED will glow or blink a bit when switch is on
TEMPERATURE / THERMAL SENSOR / OVERHEAT CUTOUT ON HOT WATER OUTLET
Thermal cutout is located ON HOT WATER OUTLET PIPE This is a protective sensor to prevent burn outs AND prevents overheating of GEYSER.
RESISTANCE IS 1 OR 2 OHMS /
Continuity chk : Circuit is continuous till the thermal cutout activates and breaks circuit.
WATER CIRCUIT / WATER FLOW SENSOR MAGNET / MICRO SENSOR ON WATER INLET (OPEN TAP AND CHK) RESISTANCE IS 1 OR 2 OHMS Check if u hear a noise as the magnet moves up the water pipe and completes circuit MAGNET GOES UP AND DOWN THE PIPE
Open TAP: MAGNET Goes up Water inlet pipe and completes water circuit Close TAP : MAGNET Goes down breaking water circuit. Continuity chk : circuit is continuous when water is flowing ie magnet is next to it,
GAS CIRCUIT
SOLENOID VALVE Regulates gas flow to the geyser. its electrical circuit can get damaged or its spring can get jammed over long period of usage due to dust and wear and tear.
Check the DC Voltage of the leads on the battery box .and note it down .. its little under 3V DC. Remove LPG REGULATOR & DISCONNECT THE SOLENOID , then start water or short water circuit pins to start geyser,, Check the BLACK AND RED LEEDS FROM THE CIRCUIT BOX to see if it is providing current . Reading should almost match battery readings.. IF Not then CIRCUIT BOX can be faulty.
Red (+) wire and Black (-) provid Power and Yellow is feedback normally
A . Remove LPG REGULATOR Check CONTINUITY RED N BLACK wires ..IF OK THEN COIL is working short water circuit or open water tap . The clicking will start n bulb will glow
Resistance between Data and Red / Data and Black are similar ..
B . The spring tends to go loose over time or rust due to humidity
IF SOLENOID IS JAMMED Remove solenoid CAREFULLY Be extra careful to see if rubber GASKET is intact . clean the plunger and spring on the SOLENOID with WD40 OR KEROSENE . AND GREASE OR MACHINE OIL IT AND STRETCH THE SPRING .
REASSEMBLE WITH DUE CARE : CHECK RUBBER RING IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND PLACED CORRECTLY REPLACE IF NEEDED
TIGHTEN SOLENOID SCREWS PROPERLY SO THERE IS AN AIRTIGHT SEAL
CLEANING THE BURNER AND THE HEAT EXCHANGER
BURNER needs to be cleaned if ur getting orange flame instead of blue . CLEAN WITH BRUSH AND ALCOHOL
CLEAN HEAT EXCHANGER WITH DILUTED ACID esp if ur water is hard and high in calcium content and water flow in geyser is drastically reduced.
