What does e5 mean in water heaters?
What does a strange code appear on an appliance mean? Does it mean that the appliance is broken? Then what is the reason for the e5 appearance in the water heater? Do you need a new water heater? Let’s follow Xiaobian and take a look together to see if the water heater needs to be replaced or if there are some minor internal faults that need to be repaired. Let’s take a look together!
Reasons for e5 appearing in water heaters:
1 Prevent the water temperature from being too hot or too high
Don’t panic when the e5 appears in our water heater, because our water heater is not broken at this moment, it reminds us that the water temperature of the water heater is too high. When the water temperature reaches too high, this reminder will appear. Then when encountering this sign, what we need to do is to lower the water temperature or unplug the plug to prevent it from burning. After a while, the e5 on our water heater will automatically disappear.
2 Heat exchanger blocked
This is why we may think less about it, because we rarely hear such a professional term. Why does it mean that the heat exchange medium contains dirty things into it, which causes our heat exchanger to be blocked? Secondly, it is caused by the appearance of scale. Scale usually appears in our kettles, but it is relatively difficult to deal with here and cannot be solved by conventional methods. Then when we encounter such a situation, we need to consult a professional to deal with it. If we deal with it ourselves, it may be all in vain. The monk will be confused and eventually make the water heater worse and worse. Therefore, it is not recommended that we deal with this problem privately. The best solution still requires finding a professional.
3. Our water heater has not been repaired for a long time, and a large amount of carbon deposits will be generated at this time, which will cause our water heater to fail to work normally.
The above is the reason why the e5 appears in our water heater. When the e5 appears in the water heater, it does not mean that our water heater is going to break down, but that our water heater reminds us that it is a little uncomfortable at this time and needs us to take a look at it. If we encounter some unsolvable problems, it is recommended to find a professional to handle them.
