Can you wire a 120 volt water heater?
Older mobiles often had small, 120-volt water heater heaters and we suspect the existing wiring was reused for the replacement. The thermostat is mechanical, not electric, so it is unaffected by the changeover.
Is there a reset button on my water heater?
There may also be a lower thermostat reset button on the water heater. If so, push that reset button as well. If you push either of these buttons but they immediately trip and won’t reset, you may have a problem with one of the parts in the water heater.
What should I do if my water heater is still hot?
Remove the spa cover and allow the water to cool to below 108° F. Adding cool water may be necessary. Touch any button to reset the system. If the water is still hotter than the set temperature, press the blower button (if applicable) to cool the spa. If the Problem Recurs, test the Sensor Set.
Do you need neutral wire for 120 V system?
UÊFor a 120/240 V system, the G.F.C.I. must include a load neutral out. UÊIf the white load neutral wire is routed from the G.F.C.I. neutral bar directly to TB1 in the system box, then the G.F.C.I. will trip when a 120 V device is activated.
