DIRT GRIME IN PIPES BURNERS AND HEAT EXCHANGER WILL DISABLE GAS GEYSER
RELEASE pressure from GAS INLET pipe by removing the regulator and the gas pipeNOZZLE on the GAS GEYSER .. Clean/OIL LPG regulator DIAL and PIN
Clean the inlet mesh on gas pipe and water pipe properly. REMOVE all CONNECTIONS with circuits and switch AND CLEAN PINS OF ALL CONNECTORS with toothbrush WD 40 OR IPA AND RECONNECT ..
When u tighten n reconnect the GAS PIPE use TEFLON TAPE and please CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGE WITH SOAPY SOLUTION A good seal is vital to avoid fires .
CHK BATTERY BOX
Chk the wires comming out of Battery BOX With DC Voltage Multimeter DC CURRENT DIAL 20
Batterys should give slightly below or around 3v DC ie 1.5 x 2 Note READING
Chk if switch is ok
When SWITCH is ON an water tap is OPENED MAGNET In pipe moves up
and activates the MAGNET SENSOR
Open TAP: TIK MAGNET Goes up Water inlet pipe and completes water circuit
Close TAP : TIK MAGNET Goes down breaking water circuit. Continuity chk : circuit is continuous when water is flowing ie magnet is next to it,
CHK if MAGNET IS MOVING UP AND DOWN IN WATER INLET PIPE
CHK MAGNET SENSOR IF NECESSARY
IF MAGNET SENSOR IS OK LED will glow or blink IGNITER on burner with black thick wire WILL spark and GO TAK TAK TAK
UN SCREW MAGNET SENSOR AND HOLD A MAGNET TO IT , CIRCUIT IS CONTINUOUS
Remove MAGNET :Circuit should close. RESISTANCE between wires IS 1 OR 2 OHMS.
CIRCUIT BOX CAN BE FAULTY IF GAS SOLENOID IS NOT GETTING CURRENT FROM BATTERY BOX OR IF IGNITER IS NOT CLICK STARTING .
CHECK CIRCUIT BOX
A. OPEN TAP Or SHORT WIRE CONNECTING MAGNET SENSOR
CHECK IF IGNITER on burner with black thick wire WILL spark and GO TAK TAK TAK ..
TEST VOLTAGE TO SOLENOID WITH DC 20V ON MULTIMETER
Red (+) wire and Black (-) provid Power and Yellow is feedback
B. OPEN TAP Or SHORT WIRE CONNECTING MAGNET SENSOR
Check leads from Circuit box .. current should be appx same as the battery box reading .
CHECK GAS SOLENOID CIRCUIT
Remove LPG REGULATOR OPEN TAP Or SHORT WIRE CONNECTING MAGNET SENSOR
Check CONTINUITY ON SOLENOID RED N BLACK wires ..IF OK THEN COIL is working
Resistance between SOLENOID Data and Red / Data and Black are similar ..
THERE IS RESISTANCE IS between RED BLACK wire .
SERVICE GAS SOLENOID The spring tends to go loose over time or rust or humidity
Remove solenoid CAREFULLY Be extra careful CHK IF rubber ring / GASKET is intact .
Clean and STRETCH the spring on the SOLENOID .. Remove any dust dirt etc,
Clean Solenoid with WD40 OR KEROSENE if necessary . GREASE OR MACHINE OIL IT .
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
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.
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.
