 | Where to get thermostat for Craftmaster electric water heater? |
|
|
Question: It's ten years old, it just stopped heating the water, and I'd like to try to repair it myself before paying a repairman. But where to get the part in a reasonable time frame? Home Depot says they don't carry it. It's a Craftmaster model E1E4ORDO45. If I have to buy a whole new one, I'd want a plug-in replacement. I don't want to fiddle with welded copper pipes.
Answer: -I think you mean soldered copper pipes? http://www.cornerhardware.com/item_212719/Plumbing/Water-Heaters-Part... -This page: http://www.waterheaterparts.net/cgi-bin/shopper.exe?keywords=electsta... is on the parts website for the company that made your heater, American Water Heater Company. There is a good chance that, since they sell parts online and these are the only types of thermostats they show, one of them is what you need. If not, go to http://www.americanwaterheater.com and ask for a replacement. Oh yeah, water heater thermostats are not "plug in" and require that you know how to disconnect/reconnect some wires and replace a screw-in plumbing part in a matter that will prevent a leak. But the company referenced above offers full instructions.
