How long can I leave Bradford White gas water heater on Low setting with the house water main turned off

With gas appliances and heaters I would turn the gas off. When you are there you are opening a closing doors and windows and creating air flow. When your home is locked up, gas could build up, especially if a pilot light went out. 2 or 3 days, no problem but anything longer than that, turn it off, or get a house sitter.

Codice errore EA su caldaia Elm Leblanc

L'errore EA su una caldaia Elm Leblanc indica un problema di accensione della fiamma, che potrebbe essere causato da diversi fattori. Nella tua situazione, sembra che la fiamma si accenda correttamente, ma poi si spenga improvvisamente, portando alla comparsa dell'errore. Ci? potrebbe essere causato da una variet? di fattori, tra cui:
  1. Un sensore di temperatura difettoso o danneggiato, che potrebbe impedire alla caldaia di rilevare la temperatura corretta dell'acqua.
  2. Una valvola del gas difettosa o sporca, che potrebbe impedire la corretta alimentazione del gas alla fiamma.
  3. Un problema con il tiraggio dell'aria, che potrebbe impedire una combustione adeguata.
  4. Un problema con il controllo della fiamma, che potrebbe impedire alla caldaia di mantenere la fiamma accesa per un tempo sufficiente.
Poich? hai gi? sostituito il primario scambiatore, potrebbe essere utile contattare un tecnico specializzato in riparazioni di caldaie per analizzare il tuo problema. Un tecnico esperto potr? eseguire un controllo approfondito della caldaia e identificare il problema specifico.

Nestle Dolce Gusto: the lever won't stay down and no water flows. I'm hoping there is a simple fix for this.

Hi, Please clean your machine as described in the manual of your device. Check for any debris that would cause the lever to move in the unexpected way that it's moving. Then, you can attempt a test run of the coffee maker. If still having issue, please reach out to Nestle by dialing 1 800-745-3391. Thank you.

Installed a new water heater but can't get it lit.

That's because presumably you are not a certified gas engineer. The law says new installations and servicing must be done by a qualified engineer. Call in a service tech to set it up and certify it safe.

Rudd power vent gas water heater

Short term, you can clean the hole, dry it and use Epoxy Putty to stop the leak. That part will need replacing though. https://www.google.com/search?q=Epoxy+Putty ..

How to regain lost water pressure after replacing hot water heater anode?

This important part is right at the end, you have a well!! It sounds like you may have run it dry? Check the well and the pump first. The rest is stop valves and pipes to the tank and beyond and not likely to be causing issues. Your sediment issues and problems with the anode is also due to using well water which is nearly always loaded with minerals..

Our hot water heater is not working. Do we call a plumber or electrician?

You can call either. My choice for an electric water heater would be the electrician. For a gas water heater it would be a plumber who is gas certified.
