The lit red button may be an indicator that the water temperature inside the water heater flow channel has become too hot. If the outflow facet is adjusted to allow more water outflow (opened more) the water temperature should drop some and therefore with increased water flow, the temperature inside the water heater will also decrease. Or, if there is a manually adjustable outflow valve on the water heater, adjusting it to a more open position would also decrease the internal temperature.
If the release valve referred to is the pressure release valve, then a water leak out the attached vent pipe is an indication that the valve is failing. To change the valve, the water must be allowed to cool (turn off AC power or gas) and the water level inside the tank must be lowered (drained) to below the level of the pressure relief valve. Once this is accomplished the vent pipe is unscrewed from the relief valve and the pressure relief valve is unscrewed from the water tank. A new pressure relief valve with a sealant on the threads, is then screwed and tightened into place with the outlet port facing downward. The vent pipe is attached to the new valve and the tank refilled with water. A hot water facet must be opened to allow air to exit while filling. Upon becoming full (water will begin to flow from facet), turn off the facet and restore AC power or gas, therefore allowing the water heater to heat up. When the first hot water is utilized there may be some air expelled from the facet.
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
(this pre-typed covers both hot and cold!)
If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses. If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call and a check that it isn't the control PCB ;-0(
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,
John C
flip the facet leverover
ie remove lever and spin the center gut 180 degrees re install the lever and wala you have hot and cold water
if not check your supplu lines dont have a kink in them or they are not pluged
remove hot supply line and open feed valve over a bucket no water ?
turn on the other shut off valve
remove cold line over bucket open valve you have water then you have a bad faucet
return it then install a glacier bay faucet they are cheep and they work well
Hi. you may have a water pressure issue within the plumbing. i would call a plumber out just to make sure of this possible issue. Until then, you can check the water valve inlet screens for debris or any blockages in that area. Make sure the wall faucets are fully opened on both the hot and cold side. one more thing, if the plumbing and water inlet valve screens are OK and, the wall faucets are fully open, there may be a internal issue with the water valve assembly not opening fully. In this case, i would recommend replacing the water valve assembly.
There is something in the line or in the faucet.Are your pipes going to the faucet black iron or galvinze.Some of the pipe will rust up and stop a full flow of water.But I would check the faucet first to see if the screw is loose or somethng in it.
Dear novscorp,
According to the error code chart (a loose insert included with the operating instructions) EF0 means two things: Error 1. Over sudsing or Error 2. Hot water does not enter.
For over sudsing, it lists the possible causes as: a high efficiency detergent was not used (the detergent brand will have "he" on it for high efficiency) or too much detergent was added. The solution lists: Use only a high efficiency detergent. Follow manufacturer's recommendation for dosage. Amount may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, load size and soil level.
For the 2nd error, hot water does not enter, it lists the possible causes as hot water hose is connected to the wrong faucet or hot water faucet is not turned on. The solution lists: Connect hot water hose to hot water faucet and hot inlet on washer. Be sure hot water facet is fully opened.
On a personal note, I received the same error when I mixed my detergent directly in with my color safe bleach. It just caused a lot of suds in the machine. One rinse cycle solved it.
Hope this helps,
