This is the thermostat I used on Amazon: amzn.to/3tshjOh and here on eBay: ebay.us/dJXd3s Repair Daily replaces the thermostat on a Bradford White gas water heater. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Thanks for the video. I didn’t know which way the cover opened and how the thermostat was held in place. But that was explained clearly and I had no trouble removing my thermostat. The link in the description says it’s unavailable at Amazon. So I couldn’t buy that one. I was able to find a seller on eBay.
When I look at my thermostat before I moved it and compare to yours after you snapped it in place, you have yours farther down. Mine has the larger tab above the hole and a smaller tab inside the hole. So it’s possible that if mine was previously installed correctly that yours is too far down. Or it’s also possible mine was too far up. Just pointing out that the tab fits both above and inside the hole.
I see you didn't use the same thermostat I bought. Maybe the difference. Anyway, mine has worked perfectly from the day it was installed. Your comment is appreciated. Maybe it will help some other installer!
@@repairsrule I’m sorry I was unclear. I have not yet replaced the thermostat. I just took it out and put the same one back in again. I was comparing the video against what position mine was in from the factory before I touched it. And I can see there are two bumps that stick out on the thermostat that can fit into the holes on the spring mounts. This means there are two possible vertical positions; a higher position and a lower position. You chose the lower position and my device as installed at the factory was in a higher position. In the lower position the screw terminal with the 120v is closer to the spring which I assume is grounded. It should be ok either way. It’s too bad there is not a diagram from BW that shows what is recommended.
@@pkmduv First, you should ALWAYS hire a professional to repair any appliance that you are not familiar with. That being said, it appears that there may be a reset possibility that you can watch here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ptNRE-qvgVA.html But it should be a replacement of one of the sensors. If they want to replace the water heater and not repair it, I would call someone else and get a second opinion.
