The little yellow dial has to be pulled away from the box in order to line up the silver arrow with the correct time.
Pull the whole dial towards yourself, you will notice that the yellow dial can now turn so you can line up the times that are printed on it to the correct time of day it is when you do this.
It's best to set the dial clock to the correct time of day.
Then tighten the little pointers that have the on-off words printed on them to the times you would like them to function.
If I helped you please give me a vote,Gary

You should have 2 tabs that can be positioned around the clock dial at the times you want the water heater turn and turn off. One tap will be marked "ON" and one will be marked "OFF". Put the tabs on the dial at the times that you want the heater to start and stop. Tighten securely. Once they are in place, I believe you lift the dial out slightly away from the back of the entire box and then you can rotate it until the pointer is pointing to the time of day that it is right now. Watch for AM/PM.
Lastly, if the heater is supposed to be on now, push the lever on the bottom to "ON". If the heater is supposed to be off now, push the lever on the bottom to "OFF".

How can we find out the capacity of our fresh water and grey and black holding tanks in our 2006 Fleetwood Discovery RV?

Check an owners manual. Measure the dimensions and calculate the volume. If you can fill it manually, drain it completely and count the number of gallons or liters it take to fill it up.

Vailant ecotec plus 837 - Water pressure and temp is too high

Pressure inside the tank will rise along with the water temperature. As the water inside cools the pressure will wane until the heating element turns on and reheats the water with a subsequent rise in pressure. Running the hot water at the same time will draw heat energy from the boiler and lower the internal temp and pressure as well.

Control on whirlpool EEZ8OHD055V Blinks twice, no hot water

1) Call Whirlpool. 1-877-817-6750
Have them send 2 new thermistors (temperature sensors located above each element), and then install according to the instructions they give you.

HOW DO YOU TURN THE LITTLE GREY BOX OFF COMPLETELY? HOW DO YOU BY-PASS THE GREY BOX?

The timer is a 24 hour type, designed specifically for use with electric water heaters.The simplest way to keep the water heater on 24 hours a day is to remove the "trippers". The "trippers" are the movable black and silver metal clips that are held on the edge of the time dial with thumbscrews. Unscrew the thumbscrew on all the trippers and remove the tripper for the time dial.

Just below the time dial, you'll find the manual switch lever. On some models, it pokes through an opening on in the door / front cover - on others it can only be operated by opening the door. Move this manual switch lever to your choice of on or off position. The switch will not longer be operated automatically - and will stay in the position you have chosen until you or someone else changes it.

Please rate this reply - good luck!

PowerStar AE125 seems to have failed

You have a blown element. If you purchased the heater, call Bosch for technical assistance, and the unit should be under warranty. The grey matter your getting is the magnesium that the elements have in them.
