Electric Hot Water Heater Thermostat Wiring Diagram

An electric hot water heater thermostat is a device that controls the temperature of the water in your hot water heater. It is typically located on the front of the heater, near the top. The thermostat has a dial or digital display that you can use to set the desired water temperature.

When you turn on your hot water heater, the thermostat sends a signal to the heater to start heating the water. The heater will continue to heat the water until it reaches the temperature you set on the thermostat. Once the water reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat will turn off the heater.

The thermostat is an important part of your hot water heater because it helps to ensure that the water is heated to a safe and comfortable temperature. If the thermostat is not working properly, it could allow the water to become too hot, which could be dangerous.

If you think that your hot water heater thermostat is not working properly, you should have it checked by a qualified professional.

Here is a diagram of a typical electric hot water heater thermostat wiring diagram:

The thermostat is connected to the hot water heater by two wires: a power wire and a sensor wire. The power wire provides power to the thermostat, and the sensor wire sends a signal to the thermostat when the water reaches the desired temperature.

The thermostat is also connected to the hot water supply line by a third wire. This wire allows the thermostat to control the flow of hot water to the faucet.

By following this diagram, you can easily wire your own electric hot water heater thermostat. However, if you are not comfortable with electrical wiring, it is best to have a qualified professional do the job for you.
