Why does the column go out after a few minutes of operation? – Setafi

If your geyser goes out - you've come to the right place. Many users immediately run to the Internet to see if it's time to buy a new machine. We are focused on setting you up for self-repair.

Factors why the geyser goes out for you

If the gas water heater works at least a little, but immediately turns off after activating the igniter, it is worth following:

• whether the igniter has gone out (it is characterized by extraneous sounds);
• Or does the gas column light up and go out?

Now we will quickly analyze each problem so that in the future there will be no questions at all. You can even then go and brag to your neighbors about what a cool master you are!

Why does the geyser go out immediately after the first start

If your device refuses to work after pressing start, then the problem is most likely in the ionization sensor. He is responsible for how the flame in the burner will go to the copper coil (TEN) and how much it will spread.

How to understand that the geyser goes out precisely because of it:

• The device goes out just a couple of seconds after the ignition is triggered.
• When you restart the work is accompanied by a long stagnation.
• Only after a few on / off the device more or less "puffs".
• After downtime, the device again refuses to work, and other points.

In order to check the system, inspect all wires leading to the sensor. If everything is fine there, then the problem is in the part itself - it needs to be quickly changed.

Why does the column go out after a few minutes of work and what to do about it

If you find such a problem, then the sensor for checking the removal of combustion products is to blame. No, he's all right. There is a high probability that the waste simply cannot exit through the ventilation anymore - so much of it has accumulated over the entire time of work.

• The chimney is simply covered with soot or other debris.
• There is no normal draft (or none at all), so all the debris settles on the walls. Clean the chimney system yourself or call a utility company.
• If there is a hood nearby, then it can draw part of the gas back into the boiler. Keep your ventilation to a minimum or turn it off when the gas burner is on.
• The copper coil is clogged, so the column goes out during operation. For several years of productive work, so much scale can be deposited on it that you never dreamed of. The problem can be clearly traced by the flame: it turned from blue to bright yellow. To clean the tube, disassemble the protective cover and wash the copper pipe. For this, an anti-limescale agent or a regular solution of citric acid is suitable.
• If you don't have ventilation at all, how will the burner work? At least open the window and direct the valve into it (in extreme cases).
• When the ignition button is released, the burner goes out. The problem is typical for piezoelectric elements. Just hold it for 10 seconds - if nothing has changed, it is worth replacing the igniter with a new one.

Why does the geyser go out during operation - the mixing of air masses is to blame

When the flow of hot air is directed to cold air, the pressure in the system decreases and the operation of the gas line is disrupted, so the igniter goes out. To fix the problem, use the regulator on the control unit of the device, lowering the pressure yourself. If you are mixing liquids, then ensure a constant hot flow of water - this is extremely important so that no pressure interruption is created in the system.

Why does the geyser turn off during the operation itself after a while

Speakers of even top manufacturers can start normal operation, heat water, and then turn off abruptly. What happened:

1. Check all settings buttons. It is possible that the device has an automatic shutdown and you have set a certain parameter. This can be seen both on the control unit and in the instruction manual;
2. The temperature inside the car exceeds one hundred Celsius. In this case, the system itself signals a problem and turns off in an emergency so as not to burn out.
3. Weak pressure: both water supply and gas supply.
4. Incorrect operation of steam and valves.
5. If the wires are oxidized, then the characteristic “click” will never let you down. Clean the oxidation spots and reconnect the contacts. Then everything will go like clockwork.
6. Perhaps the batteries are dead. They need to be replaced every couple of months, especially cheap ones. It is better to buy several expensive lithium batteries at once, which are recharged from the power supply.

What to do when work stops after switching water to shower

It is also possible that the heater refuses to work when you press the switch from the main mixer to the shower screen. What happened:

• A sharp pressure drop in the system due to blockages in the watering can. To eliminate, disassemble the shower faucet and rinse each hole of the watering can. They are often clogged with lime deposits (scale) and do not let fluid through. Metal elements can be soaked separately if they are dismantled.
• In cheap showers, the tube can turn. The result - she just got confused and does not let hot water through. You can adjust its position, and everything will fall into place.
• The watering can slows down - the burner goes out. If there is not enough pressure, you can try to increase it by opening another tap (for example, in the kitchen). Did not help - install a new watering can.
• If the mixer is broken, then this can also be a problem, especially when the switch does not work. Disassemble the faucet and check the integrity of all connections.
• Faucet filter clogged. Under the "gander" is always a metal mesh. She does not let the garbage out, and this clogs up. Remove the valve from the gooseneck and clean or replace the filter.
