Replacing the Water Heater ElementStep 1: Turn Off the Power
Turn the circuit breaker off at your electrical panel, and use a voltage tester to check if power is still reaching your water heater. You will be working with electricity and water, so it is critically important that the water heater is turned off and is no longer receiving electricity.
Step 2: Attach Hose to Drain Valve
Attach a hose to the drain valve and turn the knob to open the valve. At this point, we do not want to drain the tank, only to make sure that the drain valve is not clogged.
It is possible to change the heating element without draining your tank, although it can be a bit more challenging. If you would like to try, this video will show you how.
Step 3: Turn off Water to the Water Heater and Release Pressure
Turn OFF the water supply to the water heater, by closing the cold-water inlet valve which is located above the water heater.
Release the hot water pressure by allowing air into the tank. To do this, open a nearby faucet in a bathroom or kitchen. Only open the hot water valve, not the cold. Leave the valve open.
Step 4: Remove the Access Panel
Use a screw driver to remove the access panel. The upper panel houses the upper water heater element, and the lower panel houses the lower element.
There is usually insulation between the panel door and the thermostat, set the insulation aside in a dry place.
The thermostat should have a plastic cover, gently remove the cover.
Check the wires with a volt meter to ensure that there is no power.
Inspect the wiring. Has any of the wires been damaged? Are there any melted parts? Wiring can be damaged if sediment has caused an element to overheat. Any damaged wiring must be repaired.
Loosen the screws and disconnect the 2 element wires from the heating element.
Step 5: Remove Heating Element
Use a heating element wrench to remove the element. The element wrench can be purchased for about $5 at your local hardware store. It is designed specifically to remove electric water heater elements, and has a wide mouth that will fit over the exposed part of the element.
While the tank is still full of water, slightly loosen the element in a counter-clockwise motion. The water's weight will help keep the tank in place.
Once you know you can loosen the heating element, you can now drain the tank by opening the drain valve. Depending on the size of your tank it could take between 30 to 60 minutes to fully drain.
Remove the element. There will be a rubber gasket or "O" ring that seals the tank. Be sure you remove the O ring with the element.
Step 6: Install New Heating Element
Wipe down the threads and gasket area of the new element so that they are free of dirt or debris.
Attach the new O ring onto the new element. DO NOT use the old O ring.
Gently push the element into the tank and tighten with the element wrench.
Attach the 2 wires under the element screws. Be sure that the wires are secure and will not slip.
Step 7: Refill Tank
Close the water heater's drain valve.
Turn ON the water to the water heater.
Do NOT turn the power ON at this time. The tank must be full of water before turning on the power or you will damage the heating elements.
Check the newly installed water heater element for leakage. If leakage is present, turn off the cold water supply and tighten the element. It may be necessary to remove the element and reposition the O ring.
As the tank fills, water will begin to sputter from the open faucet tap that was left open from Step 3. The water is pushing the air out of the line. Once there is a steady flow of water, the faucet can be turned off.
Replace the plastic thermostat covers, insulation and access panel covers.
Once the water heater tank has filled with water, you can turn the power back ON to the water heater by flipping the circuit breaker ON.
?It's not uncommon for the hot water faucets throughout the house to sputter, as they will likely have air in the line. This will go away in a short period of time, you can open each faucet until you have a steady flow of water if you prefer.

Dishwashers come in standard sizes. Your old one is 60 CM wide and made for built in.

As long as the new one is also for built in, the dishwasher will fit. Measure the height of the space you have. There may be a little height adjustment on the feet.

In the base of the dishwasher above the floor there is a plastic tray that has a leak sensor. If you see water behind the machine than it means you have a 'spraying leak' as the sensor cuts off the machine as soon as it is triggered. It is likely to be a leaking hose on the pump. It can also be caused by the machine over-filling.
An E15 error code indicates that the safety switch has detected water in the base of the dishwasher. Your leakage protection system has activated. What can I do to fix the E15 Error Code on my dishwasher? Please turn off the water inflow and contact Bosch Customer Support for assistance.
