What does water heater e1 mean? Is there a problem with our water heater?
What does it mean when an e1 fault code appears in our water heater? Does it mean that our water heater is broken? Does it mean that we need a new water heater? Don’t panic. Let’s take a look at what happened and what caused it.
Water heaters often have some minor problems. Either the water is not hot enough or hot water cannot come out, or our water heaters are on but do not heat it. What is the cause of the e1 we are facing today? Come and have a look.
Reasons for e1 appearing in water heaters:
1 What we can think of for the gas water heater is the problem with the ignition device: the ignition device is broken
For example, if there is a shortage of electricity, when our electricity is not enough, the gas water heater will not have hot water. At this time, we need to find professionals to replace new accessories. We cannot operate it ourselves here. If we operate it ourselves, there may be errors, which will then lead to new problems. Therefore, it is not recommended that you operate it yourself.
2 For plug-in water heaters, we need to discuss them by category
What we talk about here first is the power supply problem. Generally, if there is a problem with the power supply of our water heater, the symbol code of e1 will appear to remind you that there is a slight failure in the water heater at this time. Regarding the power supply, we suggest that it would be better to find a professional to handle it.
3 The solenoid valve has failed. At this time, we need to listen to the sound to judge. If our solenoid valve does not make a sound, it means that there is a problem with the solenoid valve at this time. We need to find a professional to solve it. Don’t deal with it yourself., it may get worse and worse.
The above is the case where e1 appears in our water heaters. Here we talk about two types of water heaters, one is a gas water heater and the other is a plug-in water heater. No matter which type of water heater, we need to prescribe the right medicine to solve it. Don’t solve it blindly yourself., it is best to have a professional maintenance technician come to the door for repair.
