I HAVE A POWERSTAR AE115 AND THE WATER IS WARM AND NOT AS HOT AS IT WAS CHECKED THE THERMAL CUT-OUTS AND THEY ARE IN A DOWN POSITION AND DO NOT SPRING UP AND DOWN SO I DONT THINK THEY ARE TRIPPED AND HAVE NOT ADJUSTED THE TEMPERATURE AND REDUCED THE FLOW BY CLOSING THE INLET VALVE A LITTLE WHAT COULD IT BE?

SOURCE: Bosch PowerStar125 won't heat and I can't get one element to work

It sounds like you have a copper canister unit. Ohm out the elements in that one canister. the directions are on the websight for bosch, or I can walk you through it. But you will need a digital multimeter to do this. If you have a blown element in that one canister, then the tco will not reset.

You've done the required first-step troubleshooting and maintenance.
If thermal cutout keeps tripping, and unit is actually reaching 185, then something is wrong with wiring, temperature sensor, gas valve, or PC board. Or combination of factors.

SOURCE: Bosch AE115 with new pc

Hi,
It seems as though the thermal cutout is also bad and is tripping out at too low of a temperature...

I would replace the thermal cutout also, as it seems to also be bad...

Running the extra water keeps the temperature just low enough to keep the cutout from tripping out...

SOURCE: PowerStar AE125 seems to have failed

the circuit board is gone bad, try this, with power off reset the overload on the heater.Turn power back on and turn on water to the unit. with no taps open hold the pipe near the left element for a few minutes. it will most likely getting verry hot and trip the overload.(this is done with no water running and power on to the unit).you may even hear the water in the left elemnet start to boil or sizle. the reason for this is the triacs on the cir board are bad.I have troubleshoot this troblem many times. the design is bad and their in now a new unit (redesign) out . bosch knows their junk and wont cover them beyond 1 yr. one way around it is call tech at bosch and tell them its leaking. the u will get one of the new designs. Also applies to the AE125, Rp27pt

My AE115 has power going to it but no hot water

make sure you have the water connections right. the inlet goes on the blue side. Also, your pressure must be a minimum of .8 psi. If not there will be no hot water and the neon will be off. other possible causes might be a crossover in your plumbing or a stuck flow transducer. Here is a link to a guide to explain how to check these items. http://efficientelectricwaterheaters.com/Tech-Support/PowerStar-Tech-Support.asp

The thermal cutout, on the left side, pops up when water stops flowing through the unit. The modules are Polymer. I can press the button, have tons of hot water as long as the water is flowing through...

The left canister probably has a grounded element in it, which will keep power going after the water is off. Either that or you have a bad triac on your control unit

I just replaced the circuit board, and the water gets warm, but not hot.

Problem might be crossover from failed single-handle faucet cartridge:

Powerstar AE115. Neon light off - Water not hot.

9:10 times the control board is bad. You are wise to suspect as much.

My water heater is making my electic meter spin like mad

Hi Is this powerstar AE115 a tankless water heater? I suspect the 115 designator in the model number means it runs on 115 volts. And what is the second Tank ? Storage or an electric water heater? Both should be rapped with insulation to hold the heat. Meaning storage or electric water. Don't rap a tankless water heater. At the very least get a licensed electricen in to make sure you electrical service will support a 240 volt system. If it can , do it. Think of electricity as a river flowing. Volts are the speed the water flows. Amps are the force ( Also caled Impedeance) that push the water.( And spin your meter like a top I might add.) And resistance as how many bolders, Rocks, Old fords that are in the river bed slowing down the flow of water.Now here is where OMES LAW comes in. E= I x R. (E) volts is equel to the (I) impedeance (Amps) multiplied by the ( R) resistance. You can spin this in a clockwise direction and find the net value by dividing one from the other to get the net. ( I = R * E ) If This is true ( and it is ) if we double the voltage (current) we can realise a reduction on the Impedeance (Amps) of up to 1/2 of its current value.In other words if you were useing 100 amps @115v you will use 50 amps @240v Depending on the resistance. Sorry but I forget the voltage drop on 100 feet of copper wire but I assure you its real low.But your best bet would be to use a tankless water heater core in you boiler that you use for heat if you got one and save the electric for summer mode.
