This is relevant, since not everywhere in the domestic expanses you can find service centers. Having carefully studied the technical instructions, you can diagnose faults.
boiler device basic information The oldest concern for the production of domestic hot water equipment has been supplying its products to the country since 1995.It meets all international and Russian standards. The Termeks brand also includes Champion, Kvadro, and Blitz appliances. That is, their device is identical to the main brand. The water-heating equipment Termeks uses only electric elements, wet and closed, as a heater. In the product line are available;
- storage devices of various capacities;
- flow devices;
- combined, flow-storage systems.
Timely cleaning and replacement of the anode will extend the life of the main element.
Regardless of the principle of accumulation and supply of water, the devices have common functional units that eventually become unusable, and Termex water heater repairs are required:
- A storage device consisting of a shell, an internal tank and an insulating layer between them. The inner vessel is made of galvanized steel or has an enamel coating. Outer sheath of plastic or metal with powder coating.
- Heating complex in the form of one or two open elements and an anode to each of them. Electrodes are mounted with fastening on one platform, which is removed from the outside, unscrewing fasteners.
- Process-controlling apparatus — temperature sensor, thermostats, electronic control systems, safety valve.
- Installation gaskets, nozzles, taps and valves for connecting the device to the system.
- Wiring with fuses, shield, and network equipment, RCD and grounding circuit.
All internal storage tanks can be either enameled or galvanized. They all have a magnesium anode paired with heating elements.
Flowing systems use a dry element in a copper sheath, they do not take scale, but they are destroyed if there are aluminum parts in the liner. The water passing through the aluminum radiator carries ions that will destroy the copper body of the heater.
When repairing an
water heater is needed. The first symptom of a malfunction will be the absence or weak heating of the water in the storage tank or the flow system. An analysis of possible faults. Repair of the water heater is required if:
- there is no signal about power supply, there is no current in the electrical circuit;
- is powered, the indicator is lit, and the water does not heat up - the heating element has failed;
- failed thermostat;
- appeared leaking or fistula;
- requires replacement anode.
For self-repair, you need a minimum set of tools and spare parts for the device - a spare heater assembly complete with gaskets, a magnesium electrode and gaskets. Keys are required to unwind the fastener, a brush is required for descaling, and a flashlight for examining the internal state of the enamel coating. Water heater Termeks 80 liters or another, repairing it yourself in a certain sequence:
- If power is not supplied, the socket may be faulty, there is no contact in any wire of the network, or the power supply is simply turned off. Find the problem will help attentiveness and current indicator. But the power may not be supplied due to the interlocks provided for in the “dry start” protection system, with low insulation, the RCD is triggered.
- Does not heat the heater. After removing the cover from the case, release access to the terminals of the heating element and test it with a tester for proper operation. If there is voltage at the terminals, but the element does not heat, it requires replacement. In accordance with the instructions, drain the system, retain the information on the location of the wires on any carrier in order to subsequently connect correctly. Disconnect the wires, remove the temperature sensors and unscrew the flange connection of the platform with the heating element and the anode. Replace the faulty TEN, at the same time clean or replace the magnesium electrode. It is mounted in the same flange, but you can remove it separately, without disassembling the scheme.
- A leak in the seals that appeared during operation indicates wear of the gaskets that need to be replaced or rewound on the flange connections. If the leak appeared after replacing the heating element, when they were repairing the water heater Termeks with their own hands, they distorted the flange with an uneven tightening. It is necessary to re-install, replace the gasket.
- If the heating element is in good condition, power is supplied and there is no heating, it is required to check the condition of the thermostat. For this, the assembly is dismantled, and it is checked for its reaction under operating conditions, that is, in medium 60 and at room temperature. Deviations in the power supply response are considered a fault.
Lack of grounding accelerates the corrosion of all elements under water. In order not to rust the tank, the flanges do not wear out, the grounding circuit is necessary.
It should be noted that the flow in the storage tank is not removable for many reasons. The inner tank is covered with enamel, welding will destroy it. But another insurmountable complexity is a three-layer structure, when it is impossible to dismantle the inner tank without damaging the insulation and the upper shell. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the tank with care, knowing that it is beyond repair.
How to care for a water heater
The quality of the main water allows for a high content of hardness salts. The concentration of magnesium and calcium salts, harmless to humans, precipitates on the surface of the heating element. The same layer of salts on the inner surface of the tank is not terrible. It increases the protective layer, becomes additional insulation. And the heating elements need to be cleaned annually, since the sediment does not conduct heat, the element overheats and fails. In an acidic solution of acetic or citric acid, the sediment is destroyed, and the element becomes pure.
As a prevention against scale, you can use pre-softening of water before serving in the water heater. For this there are special water purification filters. Be sure to put a filter on the water supply line to remove suspended substances from the water with their direction to the sump.
When the water heater is to be repaired by the master
Even a small water heater Termeks 50 liters is repaired by professionals if:
- is under warranty;
- triggered emergency shutdown;
- electronic unit reset the program, restarted only by a specialist.
Sometimes the reason is a malfunction of the overflow valve. If it is not cleaned regularly, it may become unusable. If the RCD failed, then it must be replaced. But at the same time, the RCD does not allow the system to go into operation, if somewhere in the circuit there is a malfunction, the coil is blown. RCD is located on the supply cord in front of the plug.
Knowing the device of the water heater, carrying out timely care for it, you can ensure a long maintenance-free period of work.
