How to determine if a heating element is broken
According to experts, the service life of boiler heating elements is approximately 4 years. As a rule, the most common cause of device failure is excessively hard water in the mains. For this reason, in order to extend the service life, it is necessary to periodically carry out appropriate preventive maintenance, which consists of cleaning the anode and the heating element itself from scale and dirt.
Please note! The first sign that your heating element is clearly out of order is the lack of heating and activation of the electrical protection.
There are two ways to check the element for functionality.
Using a special tester or multimeter, the resistance of the sri lanka mobile database element is determined. And if the resistance value is zero, then the heating element should definitely be replaced.
Using a regular test light. For this purpose, a series network consisting of a light bulb and a heating element is assembled and connected to electricity. And if the light bulb lights up after this, then everything is fine with the heating element and there is no need to change it.
Replacement of old elements should be carried out with devices that fully correspond to the capacity of the water heater.

Heating Element Replacement Instructions
Let's get acquainted with the procedure for replacing a "dry" type heating element. The algorithm of actions in this case should be as follows.
Step one. First, you need to turn off the power and water supply. Then, the remaining liquid is drained from the storage tank.
Step two: Next, the water heater is disconnected from the electrical network.
