Troubleshooting Electrolux geyser: diagnosis of popular breakdowns and methods of elimination

Geysers from Electrolux are in demand all over the world, but even the highest quality equipment has to be repaired sooner or later. Most often, troubleshooting an Electrolux geyser can be done even by those who have no experience in repairs.

It wouldn’t be bad to fix the column yourself and save on calling a repairman, wouldn’t it? But how to diagnose the cause of the breakdown and what to do next? We will talk about all this in this publication - we will look at the popular malfunctions of the Electrolux brand gas water heater, the procedure for determining the cause and methods for restoring performance. For clarity, we will provide the article with photos and thematic videos.

general characteristics

Electrolux geysers are distinguished by their stylish design, reliability and functionality. They can simultaneously provide 2-3 water intake points, therefore they are used in city apartments, private houses and even in public institutions where a lot of hot water is required.

The features of Electrolux speakers make it possible to successfully use them even with low gas pressure or water pressure.

Note! Convenient knobs for adjusting parameters, a digital display and several protection systems make their operation simple and safe.

All Electrolux instantaneous gas water heaters are characterized by features that distinguish them from other similar devices.

• Their design is simple. All models are made in classic design and white color.
• The safety of the devices is ensured by a three-level protection system. There must be an automatic shutdown function in the absence of draft, a thermostat and a safety valve.
• Electrolux gas water heaters are available with different ignition options. The classic method using a match or lighter is almost never used in new models. The gas is ignited by a spark using batteries or a turbine. In this case, the unit turns on immediately after opening the water tap; sometimes you first need to press the piezo ignition button.
• The control of such a column can be mechanical, when the increase or decrease in water temperature is regulated by toggle switches. But electronic control is more convenient - in models with modulated power, the temperature is set automatically.
• The power of such speakers can be different - from 17 to 31 kW.

Advantages and disadvantages

Instantaneous water heaters from this company are very popular. Everyone can choose a model depending on their requirements and budget. Different Electrolux speakers differ in price, power, and type of ignition. But they all have several advantages that attract users:

• reliability;
• safety;
• attractive appearance;
• compactness;
• durability;
• ease of operation;
• ease of control;
• availability of additional functions.

Additional Information! An important advantage of these water heaters is the presence of a draft sensor. If it is absent or if reverse draft occurs, the unit turns off. This prevents gas from entering the room.

The disadvantages of some models of these water heating devices include the impossibility of using them with poor water pressure - the column simply will not light up. It is also difficult to ignite the unit in the absence of traction. But these are the disadvantages of any geysers. If we talk about Electrolux, we can note that they are assembled in China, which may reduce their quality.

How to check the draft of a gas water heater

Since a chimney and good draft are necessary for units with an open firebox, we will actually talk about them. Chimneyless water heaters forcefully expel gaseous, liquid and solid substances and do not require a traditional chimney. It must be said that all modern atmospheric columns are equipped with automatic safety systems that prevent the device from starting in the absence of draft or turn off the gas supply if it disappears during the operating period.

In general, to check the drafts you need a specialized measuring device, such as is used by highly professional stove makers. They make it possible not only to determine the presence of air movement in the pipe, but also to determine the traction force. It is clear that the average person does not have any instruments; the arsenal of testing is limited to two options:

• Having removed the horizontal section of the chimney from the entrance to the shaft, stick strips of paper to the wall above the opening. If the shaft does not stop working perfectly, the strips will be pulled into the middle;
• To check the draft of a gas water heater without various disassemblies, you need to light a match or stick and, holding it vertically, bring it to the inspection window on the front panel. The flame should be noticeably deflected towards the gap;

Important. Quite often, the chimney is in perfect order, but there is no draft due to the fact that access to supply air is blocked in the room. You can easily verify this by opening a window during the check. A good result will indicate to you that the room needs to be ventilated.

Features of work

Thanks to the simple design of Electrolux speakers, they are easy to use. Most of them turn on automatically after the hot water tap opens. The gas unit is activated and the burner lights up. It heats the water pipes, so hot water appears in the tap within 15 seconds. After the tap closes, the burner goes out.

The design of the speakers is thought out to the smallest detail; there is nothing superfluous in it. This design ensures reliable operation.

• The control unit includes knobs for regulating heating power, gas supply and water pressure. Some models have a digital display that displays temperature and other necessary indicators.
• Gas regulating elements allow you to normalize the gas supply, protect against an unexpected decrease in draft and regulate pressure. Many models have a modulating burner that automatically maintains the water temperature by adjusting the flame height.
• Thanks to the copper heat exchanger with thick walls, water is quickly heated without heat loss.
• The chimney has a draft sensor, so when it becomes clogged, the column automatically turns off.

Preparatory work

Despite the fact that each column “Selena”, “Vector”, “Bosch”, “Neva” comes with instructions indicating the settings, not all users understand them. One mistake at the beginning - and the technology does not function as it should.

Work begins with adjusting the water. If you do not do this right away, then all settings will be inaccurate. The flow should be minimal. The nominal values ​​are indicated in the documents, but they are general: 6, 10, 12 liters.

How to set the hot water regulator:

• Open the hot mixer to full power. When connecting to several intake points, only one valve can be unscrewed.
• Using the water switch, set the desired value.
• Turn on the tap.

Follow the recommendations of experts:

• Wait until the pressure in the line decreases, but the column will still turn on.
• Turn the water toggle knob to the maximum position.
• Turn the gas regulator to the minimum mark until the temperature suits you.

To finish cooking, you need to adjust the gas supply. Check the data sheet again to find out the minimum value for your model.

• Turn the toggle switch to minimum.
• Open the gas valve. In the Ariston and Electrolux models, this must be done after connecting to the network. In Oasis, Dion, Bosch, Junkers heaters - after installing batteries.
• Open the hot valve and the column will start working.

• Faults and repairs Electrolux 350 RN, 265 ERN Nanoplus
• Types of geysers

Operating rules When starting the Electrolux GWH 275 SRN/RN, 285 ERN geyser, you must open the tap slightly and drain a certain amount of water. At the same time, all pipes are checked for possible leaks. If everything is in order, you can open the gas supply valve. A characteristic sound will be heard. After this, you can open the tap to dispense hot water. It must be opened immediately to the maximum position. If the water is supplied with sufficient pressure, you will hear a crackling sound and sparks from the piezo ignition, as well as that the gas has ignited. For normal operation of the device, it is necessary that the pressure be in the range of 0.15-10 atmospheres. It will take a short period of time to heat the water. If a new column is installed, there may be a slight smell of machine oil, which will go away during operation. When using the unit, the manufacturer does not recommend mixing warm water with cold water. Since this creates resistance in the supply of hot water, which can cause the device to turn off. The water heater must be configured so that it immediately supplies water at the specified temperature. To increase water heating, you can reduce the flow. But if it gets too small, the device will turn off. Continuous use To increase the service life of the Electrolux column, you must follow a number of rules. The most expensive part in it is the thermostat. Instantaneous gas water heaters of models GWH 285 ERN Nanopro and GWH 275 SRN/RN have a copper heat exchanger. Since it is constantly in contact with hot water, scale may form inside it. Therefore, it is recommended not to use the maximum water heating mode. The optimal temperature range is 45-50C. To the right of the display is a switch that can be used to adjust the water flow rate. Correctly setting its value will avoid sudden pressure changes. If excessively hard water is supplied to the unit, it is necessary to install an additional cleaning system. Otherwise, scale will form too quickly. These recommendations will not completely stop scale formation, but will simply reduce it to a minimum. That is why it is necessary to clean the device once a year with the help of specialists from a specialized service center. Safety precautions It is important to observe safety precautions when operating any gas equipment. It is unacceptable to start work without studying the manufacturer’s instructions. Below are the most important excerpts from these instructions. The gas water heater Electrolux 285 Nano Pro is equipped with gas attenuation control and restrictions on maximum water heating. During long-term operation of the unit, it is necessary to periodically check the presence of draft in the chimney. This can be checked with a lit match. Or you can contact specialists who have special equipment. Carry out inspections at least once every three months. When the gas water heater is operating, the window must be open. This is a safety requirement. You also need to make a 2-centimeter gap in the door. The device should be installed in a place out of reach of small children. It is prohibited to independently make any changes to the design of the device. It is important to remember that individual parts of the column may become hot and may cause burns. If you smell gas in the room where the unit is installed, you must immediately stop the gas supply, extinguish the flame, and turn off the power to the unit. Turn off all operating electrical appliances and immediately call emergency services. All gas pipes must be in an easily accessible place. Lumbering them is prohibited. It is also prohibited to tie clotheslines to pipes. If the water heater is located in a room where there is no heating, then in winter, if it is not in use, the water must be drained from it. Geysers Electrolux GWH 275 SRN/RN, 285 ERN have a number of undoubted advantages in comparison with other devices: 1. Low price category, while ensuring high reliability. These models have a fairly simple design and do not have a huge amount of electronics, which reduces the likelihood of costly breakdowns. 2. All these models are equipped with a good large and bright display. Among other data, it shows the battery charge. It's comfortable. 3. Quiet operation. Moreover, the device does not make loud sounds when starting up. 4. The water heats up very quickly. 5. The device continues to work even if the water pressure becomes too low. 6. It is quite easy to buy any components for these models. 7. High performance of this equipment. 8. The design provides protection against gas extinction and water overheating. 9. The controls are located in a convenient place and fit well in the hand. Among the disadvantages of these geysers, it is worth noting the increased sensitivity of the gas control knob. High water pressure is required to start. But if you install the device correctly and follow all the necessary safety requirements, the water heater will serve for a long time, and without breakdowns. And you can get used to the peculiarities of the work. Maintenance and adjustments I have an Electrolux GWH 275 SRN column installed. The apartment is rented and when I moved in, the renovations had not yet been completed. I had to complete it. During the repair, it was turned off and when I connected it, I mistakenly mixed up gas and cold water. Having figured it out, I immediately swapped the hoses and installed them correctly. Everything seemed to work. When it was New Year, I was absent from the apartment during all the holidays. After leaving, I turned off the gas and water, and the unit stood turned off for about 2 weeks. Now there's a problem. When starting, the ignition burner lights up, but when the main burner lights up, the ignition burner goes out. Your EHR is rusty. It needs to be taken out, dried, and wiped. The GWH 285 ERN Nanopro gas water heater broke. It served flawlessly for 5 years, but I had to change the heat exchanger three times. The last time I did this was 6 months ago. Now there's a problem. After I turn the gas level regulator and light the pilot, everything works great, but when I try to switch to the main burner mode, the pilot goes out. I looked at it all, the heat exchanger is clean, the water supply is sufficient. Just in case, I cleaned everything I could. But he didn’t touch the frog. There was another problem of this type before. A click was heard, after which the gas valve turned off. Maybe the problem is with the gas level regulator? I didn't find any external damage. Most likely you have a problem with the traction sensor. I have an Electrolux 275 gas water heater installed. Six months ago it broke. After I turn on the gas using the top handle, the wick worked for two minutes. After some time the problem went away on its own. And now she’s back, and it’s even worse. The wick does not go out at all. To make it go out, I have to turn off the water supply tap. Even if the top handle is in the off position, when you open the water supply tap, the wick still lights up from the piez. Shortly before the problem appeared, I mixed up the hoses and released some water into the gas line. And when I then tried to start the device, I heard gurgling water. I live on the second floor. What could be the problem? When the thermocouple cools down, the solenoid valve stops the gas supply. If you succeed, try disassembling the solenoid valve (EMV). It needs to be wiped and dried. After the wick is extinguished, the gas supply must be shut off by the EMC itself. It can be found at the back of the device, where the wire is. To remove it, you need an eight key. I have been using an Electrolux 285 Nano Pro gas instantaneous water heater for a long time. During operation, I cleaned the heat exchanger several times, and there were no problems with it. But recently, as the temperature increased, the water pressure began to drop. What could it be? It also happens that I have water leaking from the lower regulator. To solve this problem, I disassembled and cleaned the membrane, and the leak temporarily stopped. But now it has appeared again. Maybe there is a problem with the membrane again and it should be replaced? Or is it just enough to disassemble and remove the dirt? And here’s another thing, lately I haven’t turned the bottom handle to the vertical position. Only after lukewarm water comes out do I adjust it with the top handle to get the temperature I need. This allows you to make the water hotter without changing the set. I hope my actions will not be met by the device? If it is strong, then there is most likely garbage there. The small holes located there must be clean. You should disassemble and remove the rubber ring. You can wind several turns of fumka there. But you do it in such a way that you can put everything back together. And try not to touch this handle. Restore the top knob to the lowest flame setting, if, of course, you have good gas pressure. And it is with the lower handle that you adjust the water temperature. It doesn’t have to be in the maximum position, it should be so that everything suits you. You have a model with flame modulation; if you follow the steps described above, it will automatically maintain the water temperature that you need. The Electrolux GWH 275 RN gas water heater broke down. In operation for 5 years already. Recently the following problem appeared. The startup proceeds as expected, but during long operation (more than 30 minutes), when turned on again, the following occurs. A spark occurs (5 seconds). But the gas does not ignite. The red light starts flashing. The device starts up only after it has been idle for about 20 minutes. If it works in short intervals, then there is no problem. Tell me, what could it be? I suspect that the protection is triggered somehow: either by draft or by gas heating. But for some reason she doesn’t stop. If the draft or overheating sensor was working, there will be no spark. First of all, replace the batteries. Be sure to use alkaline. It is possible that the unit overheats and the servo valve stops working. This is the first sign that it will break soon. Try using a multimeter to check the voltage on it when restarting. If it is around 1.4V, then you should repair or replace the servo valve. If there is no voltage, then sequentially check the contacts, wires and operation of the controller.

Selection rules

An Electrolux water heater is the best way to provide hot water to a private home, cottage or city apartment. You just need to choose the right model. Their main characteristics are the same, the difference may be insignificant, but it is still important to know what to pay attention to.

• First of all, you need to consider power. The performance of the device depends on this, as well as how many water intake points it can provide. Dispensers with low power up to 19 kW are designed for 1 tap, medium-power - 20-24 kW - for 2 points. If there are more of them, for example, in a gym or a large private house, you need to choose a device with a power of 25-30 kW.
• The column control method can be manual or automatic. If you do it manually, you will have to use toggle switches to regulate the water temperature; if the pressure drops, it will become cold. In models with a power modulator, you can set a certain temperature, and the device will maintain it regardless of the water pressure.

How to turn on a column

Let’s say right away that turning on a gas-type water heater with a closed chamber and automated ignition is not difficult. But there is a rule that is important for various types of heaters when first starting up: the pipe coil must be filled with water. Therefore, it is necessary to open the water mixer before and after the device, and then slightly remove the water in the kitchen or elsewhere. After which the gas tap is opened and the chimneyless installation is connected to the electrical network. Then it will do everything itself, you just need to adjust the temperature.

A heater with an open chamber is a different matter. In this case, to light the column, you must first turn on the ignition wick. To do this, open the gas supply valve and press the manual piezo ignition button, the wick is ignited by a spark. Next, the desired water temperature is set using regulators or buttons, while the ignition wick remains lit. As soon as a hot water tap opens somewhere, the main burner will start from it.

If the device has an automatic battery-powered ignition control system, the starting method is as follows:

• insert the power parts into the compartment;
• open the gas valve;
• open the water valves;
• Unscrew the nearby hot water tap a few turns and thereby light the main burner. The mediator is the ignition wick, which is turned on only for a certain period of time when the burner is started.

At the first start-up or after a long break, an air plug forms in the gas pipe at the entrance to the device. You can remove it by repeating the ignition operation a couple of times.

User manual

The instantaneous gas water heater is mounted on the wall close to the gas pipes and chimney. There must be a distance of at least 50 cm from the stove and refrigerator. Installation and connection must be carried out by specialists; it is prohibited to do it yourself. A mark indicating its connection is placed in the device passport.

Note! The geyser can only be installed in a room of at least 12 m2 with a standard ceiling height. It should have ventilation and a window with a window.

After installation, be sure to read the operating instructions. It indicates the main characteristics of the device and rules of use. The most important thing is to understand how to light an Electrolux gas water heater. In most modern models, the burner ignites automatically after opening the hot water tap. Using toggle switches, the intensity of the flame is adjusted. This helps change the temperature of the water.

In models with a modulating burner, the heating level is adjusted automatically. You need to set a certain temperature, and the column will maintain it itself, changing the intensity of the flame if necessary.

Important! In any model, it is prohibited to adjust the water temperature with a tap by adding cold water.

In order for the column to operate smoothly and not create dangerous situations, it must be properly cared for:

• clean the body of dust, remove moisture in a timely manner;
• You can wipe the column only after turning it off, when it has cooled down;
• nothing should be placed on top of the device, nor should it be covered with a cloth;
• Do not disassemble or try to troubleshoot problems yourself.

The right choice of geysers

If you decide to purchase a geyser device, then pay attention, first of all, to the power of the model you choose. It should be enough to provide all members of your family with hot water.

The power of almost all modern models fits into the range from 3 to 60 kilowatts.

Important! The more powerful the gas water heater, the larger volume of water it will be able to heat over a certain period of time. The average “cell of society”, consisting of four people, needs a device whose power averages 16-24 kilowatts

There is more than enough for the dishes to be washed and everyone to take a shower. Even if the device has a low power of 16 kilowatts, it will be able to provide 10 liters of hot water, which is enough to wash and wash dishes at the same time. Of course, if you can, then buy a column with a power of 24 kilowatts, as it can provide 24 liters of heated water

The average “cell of society”, consisting of four people, needs a device whose power averages 16-24 kilowatts. There is more than enough for the dishes to be washed and everyone to take a shower. Even if the device has a low power of 16 kilowatts, it will be able to provide 10 liters of hot water, which is enough to wash and wash dishes at the same time. Of course, if you can, then buy a column with a power of 24 kilowatts, as it can provide 24 liters of heated water.

In addition, it is advisable to take into account the water temperature that a particular model can provide. To designate it, the Latin letters DT are used. For example, if water already enters the heat exchanger at a temperature of 12 degrees, then it will heat up to 24 degrees. therefore, it can be used even without prior dilution.

Today there are models that can heat water even up to 50 degrees. Their power, as well as their cost, is an order of magnitude higher than conventional models. For this reason, if several plumbing elements are simultaneously connected to the system, then it is better to purchase a more powerful column so that it can provide them all with hot water at the same time.

Also, when buying a gas water heater, check whether it is equipped with safety sensors. They are of the following types:

• overheating;
• burner extinction;
• combustion;
• low blood pressure;
• temperature;
• sudden interruption of water supply.

And remember: geysers are only allowed to be installed in the kitchen! Installing a geyser in the bathroom is prohibited! Unless it (the bathroom) meets all existing requirements.

As a conclusion

So, we have looked at what a geyser is, what its features are, what malfunctions may arise during operation and how to repair them later. We only note that such devices are extremely economical, especially in light of ever-increasing utility tariffs. And lastly: do not forget that preventative maintenance of the column’s performance should be carried out annually.

Modern gas devices presented on the market of household water heating equipment meet all European quality and safety standards, and at the same time have a relatively low cost.

But before lighting the Ariston gas water heater and starting to use it, the owner must carefully and in detail familiarize himself with its principle of operation, operating instructions and safety regulations. This is exactly what we will talk about in detail in our article, providing the material with visual photos and video recommendations.

Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them

Sometimes problems occur in the operation of Electrolux geysers. But serious malfunctions rarely occur; in many cases they can be fixed on your own. Models with electronic control show an error code, this allows you to figure out in time what is wrong and avoid serious damage. It is worth paying attention to the following indications on the display:

• E0 means that the device has overheated and the temperature sensor has tripped; professional repair may be required;
• E1 indicates the need to replace batteries;
• E2 is an ionization sensor; it can work if the flame is not burning.

There are two most common faults that are easy to fix. They do not indicate a breakdown of the column, but arise due to its improper operation. Most often, users notice that the column has stopped lighting up. This can happen in the absence of traction. It needs to be checked and, if necessary, the chimney and ventilation should be cleaned. The device will also not light up if the water is not open. Models with electric ignition may stop turning on if the batteries are low.

It also happens that the water does not heat up well. To eliminate this malfunction, you need to adjust the gas supply or water pressure. This can be done on the device itself or simply reduce the water supply to the tap.

If you smell gas in a room where the heater is running, you cannot fix this problem yourself. The column must be turned off and a specialist must be called.

Gas water heater device

Each user should know the operating principle of the equipment they install in their home. This ensures correct and safe operation.

The column consists of a metal body and:

• gas unit;
• water node;
• hoods;
• radiator (heat exchanger);
• burners;
• operation control sensors.

The operating principle of all Electrolux, Neva, and Beretta speakers is the same:

• When turned on, water begins to flow into the system.
• Under pressure, the membrane stretches and opens the gas supply valve.
• The burner lights and heats the liquid, which circulates through the heat exchanger.
• Combustion products are removed through ventilation and chimney.

There is an opinion that installing geysers in an apartment or house is unsafe. This was the case in the days of models with manual ignition. Today, manufacturers equip equipment with sensors that monitor the presence of draft and water heating in order to prevent an emergency. But still, you should not neglect safety rules.

If you smell gas:

• Shut off the gas supply immediately.
• Ventilate the room.
• Do not connect electrical appliances until the room is completely ventilated.
• Contact your gas company.

Reviews

Most users respond positively to the performance of Electrolux speakers. Among the shortcomings, the low power of some models and the difficulty of finding spare parts are sometimes noted.

Ruslan from Tver writes: “I have been using an Electrolux speaker for several years. I like its reliability. Our water pressure is constantly dropping, but I am not worried that the water heater will burn out, since it has an automatic shut-off system. The only disadvantage is the need to regularly change the batteries, otherwise it will not light up.”

And Alexander from Saratov.

Electrolux gas instantaneous water heaters are the most convenient way to provide your home with hot water. Convenient operation, automatic ignition and a multi-level protection system make such speakers popular among users.

*Prices are current as of July 2021.

Solving the problem of heating water in a private house or apartment today is not difficult. In this situation, it would be advisable to use gas water heaters. A good option for this equipment is considered to be a device from Electrolux, which has proven itself well. Products in this category are safe, easy to use, and not very expensive.

Nuances of operation

Let's look at frequently asked questions when using geysers.

Why does the geyser turn on or not turn off on its own?

Spontaneous turning on of the column can occur if there is a leak in the hot water system behind the column. Accordingly, solving the problem with the water supply eliminates the problem with the column.

Much more often this situation arises: the column continues to work even when the tap is turned off. This happens due to incorrect operation of the diaphragm (it loses elasticity), which is installed in the water regulator. After the user turns off the hot water, it cannot take the desired position; it presses the gas supply sensor for some time. In this case, only replacing the worn part will help.

If the membrane loses elasticity, the column may not turn off

Is it possible to turn on cold water when the water heater is on?

Many users are lazy, do not know how or do not want to set comfortable settings on their column, and regulate the water temperature by adding cold water to it. You can't do this, here's why:

• this is prohibited in the user manual;
• When mixing water, scale appears on the heat exchanger, which spoils it.

Advice! More advanced models of columns have a “winter-summer” option, which allows you to quickly change the outlet water temperature.

Do I need to turn off the speaker at night?

In older speaker models, as well as in those with piezo ignition, the wick burns constantly. This, on the one hand, is not economical, since gas is constantly being consumed, but on the other hand, it is potentially dangerous. It is better to turn off these speakers at night and sleep peacefully.

There is no need to turn off a modern gas water heater

Modern gas water heaters have an automatic ignition system. There is also a whole set of hardware responsible for security:

• traction sensor;
• flame sensor (monitors its presence);
• The temperature sensor allows you to keep it up to 90 degrees.

An alarm from any of them leads to immediate shutdown of the column. This column can not be turned off. Usually this point is not even written down in the manual.

Peculiarities

Electrolux water heaters are equipment that can heat water and maintain its temperature for a long time without interruption. The design can perform its functions in any conditions. The technical features of the devices provide the speakers with reliability and safety. The water heating equipment of this company is capable of working not only at one or several water intake points. It has found wide use both in the domestic sphere and in offices.

Each model has its own characteristics and performance, so when choosing a product, the buyer should be guided by personal taste and needs. Let's look at the main characteristics of Electrolux speakers.

• Power. The manufacturing company sells a product that can be of three types and differ from each other in performance and power: low-power equipment - 17-19 kilowatts; medium power - 20-24 kilowatts; powerful - 25-31 kilowatts. Each presented option can work at a certain number of water intake points.
• Control method. The manual control method has long been outdated; it has been replaced by a new, more improved one. Modern models of Electrolux geysers have a built-in burner with independent power modeling. Thanks to this, the equipment is able to control the temperature regime and maintain it at the required level, even with insufficient pressure. The automatic system independently selects and regulates the temperature.
• Type of ignition. The manufacturer sells several models of geysers: with manual, automatic and piezo ignition. Equipment of the first option is now practically not found. Automatic ignition is the most convenient option to use.
• Safety. Electrolux speakers are equipped with three-level and four-level security. When unexpected interruptions occur in the system, for example, pressure changes, a gas or water leak occurs, the device turns off automatically.

Scope of application of Electrolux geysers

Thanks to the almost irreplaceable properties and features of the devices of the declared brand, when purchasing you receive a truly high-quality model, which is accompanied only by positive reviews from the owners. Nevertheless, heating equipment is used not only in domestic conditions, but also in many other industries (of course, for such cases, more powerful models are used).

Gas water heaters can be used to heat water in hospitals, workshops, gyms, swimming pools and many other premises where workers are trained in hygiene. Typically, these devices process large volumes, and for industrial conditions, models with maximum productivity will be needed.

Design and principle of operation

All geysers have a similar design and functioning system. The Electrolux geyser has knobs on the body - toggle switches; they regulate the heating power and water supply. Each device has its own throughput; some columns can heat up to sixteen liters of liquid per minute. Thanks to the optimal chimney connector, the equipment from this manufacturer is characterized by versatility. Geysers can work together with an exhaust system.

Equipment items:

• control pads and adjustment buttons (many Electrolux models are equipped with a display on which you can see the water temperature and all other indicators);
• solenoid valve;
• copper heat exchanger;
• holes for water and gas inlet;
• hole for the outlet of heated liquid;
• chimney opening;
• drain tap;
• fastening elements.

Thanks to the quality of the parts and design, this equipment is absolutely adapted for use in our country. If the water supply pressure or gas pressure in the main changes, the device will function at the same level. Two tubes are installed in the body of the geysers, the first for gas supply, the second for water. At the bottom of the equipment there are burners, which have a basic appearance and a pilot. Depending on the selected model, the device has electric ignition, piezo ignition or manual ignition.

There is nothing complicated in the principle of operation of a water heating column. The heat exchanger passes cold water, the liquid in it is heated thanks to the burners located below. The oxygen necessary for combustion penetrates into the apparatus through the ventilation system. The exhaust gas exits through the chimney. The heated water enters the sink through a pipe.

Popular models

The Electrolux company has proven itself to be the best. This is evidenced by reviews from customers and specialists. Electrolux GWH 265 ERN Nano Plus is a heater in demand today, which is characterized by a power of 20 kW and a capacity of ten liters of water per minute. Thanks to the presence of electric ignition, it is easy to use the appliance; to do this, you just need to change the batteries in a timely manner and open the mixer. The dimensions of the device allow it to be installed even in a small room.

The steel burner of this model and the copper heat exchanger have a long service life. The radiator does not contain oxygen or lead, so the equipment is absolutely safe for others. Nano Plus has a temperature limiter that protects the device from overheating. Judging by consumer reviews, this model is not only compact, but also easy to use. Almost no shortcomings have been noticed, but buyers say that if configured incorrectly, the equipment may malfunction and become noisy. That is why it is necessary to strictly follow the rules in the instructions.

User manual

Anyone who has purchased water heating equipment must use it correctly without violating safety rules. Basic rules of use:

• It is prohibited to use a gas water heater when there is no draft in the chimney;
• Do not use broken equipment;
• the room in which the gas water heater is installed should not have leaks - if such a situation arises, it is necessary to urgently ventilate the room and call the gas service.

Every owner of a gas water heater must remember that gas leaks can be very dangerous. The operating instructions included in the kit must be followed in full. There are situations when the column does not work when the water is turned on or heats the water poorly. In this case, you will need to check its heating elements. It is important to know that any heating element has an expiration date, so the user must have batteries in stock to change at the right time.

Anyone who has just purchased Electrolux equipment is interested in the question of how to turn on the speaker and light it. The first step is to turn on the taps for water and gas supply. This is done in three ways.

• Manually.
• Piezo ignition, which is quite simple to use. To turn on the device, just press a button, as a result of which the filter ignites.
• Automatically. Using equipment with such a system is a pleasure, because you don’t need to do practically anything, everything is done by the equipment.

To properly configure the operation of a gas water heater, you do not have to use a lot of knowledge and skills. The panel of the device has a scale and two handles. The first scale has divisions, and using the handle the required liquid supply is set. At the same time, the second scale and handle are designed for setting and adjusting the gas supply. It is necessary to configure the functioning of the geyser immediately after installing the device. Thus, the operation of the device and the consumption of water and gas are optimized.

You need to adjust the water flow based on the nominal pressure, which is indicated in the technical data sheet of the product. In order to set the performance value, the hot water tap is opened, the handle is set on the scale, and the tap is closed.

To prepare the operation of the gas tap, first of all you need to install the equipment at the minimum level. Then you need to connect the speaker to the network or insert batteries. Next, open the valve on the gas pipe. After the hot water tap opens, the device automatically turns on and heats the liquid. Many Electrolux models have an economy mode, the settings of which are described in the instructions for the equipment.

Rules for turning on gas water heaters

It is important to take precautions when using the speaker.
Ignition of the wick or main burner is carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Modern columns have several levels of protection and operate mainly in automatic mode, without requiring special precautions. Ignition and switching on occurs when the hot water tap is opened. Problems and difficulties arise when using old speakers that need to be set on fire with matches or models with a built-in piezoelectric element.

How to turn on an old speaker with matches

There are two main types of water heaters, differing in the ignition device. All models, without exception, are equipped with an ignition wick that burns constantly. The first residents of “Stalinka” and “Khrushchev” buildings had to use a column with levers. Later, water heaters with a built-in piezoelectric igniter appeared.

You should use an old-style geyser with caution. Failure to comply with the rules described in the operating instructions can cause an explosion, gas leakage and equipment failure

When turning on a instantaneous gas water heater, observe the following rules:

• Checking the presence of draft - before turning on, you should make sure that carbon dioxide can freely leave the room. Air circulation is checked using a strip of paper or a lit match. An inspection hole is provided in the column body. A sheet of paper brought to it should adhere to the body of the water heater. The flame should be pulled into the hole.
• The column lever (replaced by a handle in later models) is moved to the left position until it stops.
• Press the solenoid valve button. At this moment, the wick is simultaneously ignited with matches. After 15-20 seconds. the valve is released. The pilot light should continue to burn. It happens that the wick turns on only the second time. The cause of this malfunction is a malfunction of the solenoid valve.
• Turn on the water in the bathroom or kitchen sink.
• Quickly move the right lever to the left position. The main burner should light up. The lever regulates the temperature of hot water.

Lighting an old gas water heater is not that difficult. Switching off is carried out in the reverse order. First, the main burner is turned off, after which the water is turned off.

For convenience, when lighting an old gas water heater, it is better to use long fireplace matches.

How to light a column with a piezo element

Classic speakers with control via levers have been replaced by models with mechanical switches in the form of knobs. The housing provided a piezo ignition of the wick, allowing the gas water heater to be ignited without matches. The ignition procedure is as follows:

• The electric valve is clamped - usually 15-20 seconds are enough for enough gas to accumulate on the wick for ignition.
• You will need to press the piezoelectric element 2-3 times. When the module is correctly positioned and in working order, it is enough to “click” the piezoelectric element once to ignite the wick.

Further steps are the same as in the case of a column lit by matches. If the piezoelectric element malfunctions, ignition is carried out using matches.

How to light a column with electric ignition

Those who have used automatic gas instantaneous and storage water heaters know that the user does not need to carry out complex manipulations, as is the case with old-style models. Modern gas water heating equipment is equipped with an automatic system that gives a signal to turn on when the hot water tap is opened.

The spark appears due to the activation of automatic ignition, powered by batteries or mains electricity. If the water heater is in good working order, a few seconds are enough for the burner to start and hot water to be supplied to the consumer.

Malfunctions and their elimination

Gas water heaters are devices that are used continuously, so breakdowns can occur even with the most expensive model. The main problems that the user encounters when operating this type of equipment are the following.

Column does not light up

There are several reasons that caused this situation. First of all, you need to check the combustion of the igniter; if it is faulty, then you should call a technician who will clean the element. In dispensers with electronic ignition, it is recommended to check the solenoid valve; it often cuts off the gas supply. The solution to the problem may be to simply replace the battery. The geyser does not turn on if there is no draft in the ventilation shaft. Removing the blockage will help bring it back. Wear of the water membrane can be considered as the reason for the lack of ignition. In case of deformation, spare parts should be replaced. Also, we must not forget about the possible clogging of the filter, which can be easily replaced yourself.

How to use an Electrolux speaker

All Electrolux gas water heaters operate in automatic mode. The internal structure is thought out to the smallest detail, making operation as comfortable as possible. When the DHW tap is opened, the automatic system is activated and the main burner is ignited. Hot water reaches the consumer within 10-15 seconds. After closing the tap, the flame dies out.

How to turn on an Electrolux speaker

Almost all leading manufacturers of instantaneous gas water heaters indicate in their operating instructions that installation must be performed by a qualified specialist. In domestic joint ventures and SNiP there is a similar instruction. In accordance with existing standards, connecting with your own hands is prohibited. If you perform a self-installation, then the next time you contact a service center, you should not expect free service. You will have to pay for all work, even if the warranty period has not yet passed.

According to current regulations, the connection can be made by:

• representatives of the company that sold the water heater;
• gas service specialists.

A mark and seal is placed in the boiler passport about connecting and putting the device into operation.

There are several basic connection rules:

• installation is carried out in accordance with the rules described in SNiP and SP;
• the first launch is carried out in the presence of a Gas Service inspector;
• be sure to withstand gaps between the stove, refrigerator, and sink;
• installation is carried out in strict accordance with the gas supply project;
• the room used as a boiler room must meet the minimum requirements: height 2.2 m, area of ​​at least 12 m², presence of a vent or opening window.

The column is supplied with fastening elements and an anchor plate. The column is hung on a wall made of dense solid building materials.

How to set up an Electrolux speaker

For adjustment, there are mechanical regulators for the flow of water and gas on the front side of the water heater casing. Most Electrolux speakers have an LED display connected to a heating sensor that shows the water temperature.

To change the power, increase or decrease the gas supply, changing the intensity of the flame, focusing on the digital indicators displayed on the screen.

In the Electrolux gas water heater with flame modulation, adjustments are made according to a different principle. The user sets the required water heating temperature. The programmer independently changes the burner power, adapting to the actual pressure in the water supply system.

How to clean an Electrolux speaker

During the repair, the technician will remove the column casing, disconnect the heat exchanger and remove the burner. The coil is washed using special chemicals under pressure. The radiator fins are washed with ordinary soapy water. The burner is cleaned with a metal awl. The work is carried out by a qualified specialist who has access and the appropriate license.

How to avoid common breakdowns?

Those who follow the simplest safety rules when operating gas-using equipment will not have to worry about the technical condition of their dispenser.

The geyser is installed in a room that can be regularly ventilated. This requirement is mandatory, otherwise the gas service will not issue permission to connect the water heater.

The simplest tips will help prevent typical breakdowns:

• The gas water heater must be installed out of the reach of children. Otherwise, the child will damage the equipment or be injured.
• Particular attention should be paid to the door in the room where the equipment is installed. There should be a gap (2 cm) under the door. This will be enough for ventilation.
• Directly during operation of the column, it is advisable to open the window, if such an opportunity is provided in the room where it is installed.
• If your water heater is in a room that is not heated (for example, in a summer cottage), then in winter all remaining water should be removed from the water heater.
• Some parts of the geyser structure become very hot, so touching them is dangerous - you can get burned.
• Under no circumstances should you tie clotheslines to gas pipes and dry clothes on them. Access to gas pipes should be extremely simple.

If you use the column for a long time, then you need to regularly check the chimney draft.

In order to check the draft at home, just hold a match to the chimney and determine the presence of air flow. This will be obvious from the movement of the flame

Adjusting the Electrolux geyser

First, you need to come to terms with the fact that you need to entrust the installation of the column to a specialist. If you install this equipment yourself, the service center may refuse warranty service, as many manufacturers warn about.

There are requirements for rooms in which a gas water heater can be installed. The area of ​​such a room should not be less than 12 square meters. m. Ceiling height - at least 2.2 m. There must be vents or opening windows. If you do not have such a room, then installing a gas water heater is not allowed.

However, many problems arise precisely because of insufficiently competent installation and adjustment of the gas water heater, so you must carefully monitor the work of the installation technician. If it seems to you that he is ignoring the rules described in SNiP 2.04.08-87, then you should call another specialist in the installation of geysers.

The very first launch is possible only in the presence of an inspector from the gas service. It is prohibited to connect the dispenser yourself, as stated in paragraph 88 (1) of Section VIII of the Government of the Russian Federation Resolution N 410 dated 05/14/2013 (date of update 01/01/2019) “On measures to ensure safety when using... gas equipment.” This must be carried out by a qualified specialist.

Correct speaker setup

Breakdowns often appear after improper equipment setup. In order to adjust the operating mode of the equipment, you need to use the display, which is equipped with almost all Electrolux speakers. This display is connected to a sensor that monitors the water temperature.

All modern Electrolux geysers are equipped with a display that displays all important information regarding the operation of the water heater, including water temperature and battery charge level, if the model requires their use

In order to change the power, you need to change the intensity of the fire. A display with indicators will help you with this. In some Electrolux geysers (with flame modulation), you need to set the desired water heating temperature. This is how the operation of the equipment is adjusted. After this, the burner power will change.

Remember that you can only adjust the temperature in the specified way. If you mix cold water with hot water, you will only aggravate the situation and ruin the gas water heater.

Gas equipment cleaning

Many breakdowns can be avoided by regular maintenance and cleaning of individual elements of the column structure that are most susceptible to contamination. In geysers from this manufacturer, such parts include the burner and heat exchanger.

Burner jets often become clogged due to soot, and scale often appears inside the heat exchanger. Carbon deposits can be seen on the outside of the heat exchanger.

Cleaning the column heat exchanger with an acid-containing solution can be done on your own. It is best to clean the gas water heater in the fresh air.

You can clean the device yourself only if the warranty has already expired. Otherwise, you should call the service center, because during the warranty period, specialists will remove all dirt for free.

If the warranty has already expired, then you need to remove the column casing, remove the heat exchanger and remove the burner. The tubes inside can be washed using conventional chemicals, and the radiator fins outside can be washed with a regular solution (soap). It is recommended to clean the burner using a metal awl.

Gas water heater security system

Each speaker produced by Electrolux is equipped with a multi-level security system. It is designed to prevent gas and water leaks. When the pressure increases, the protection system should work and turn off the column.

Of all the malfunctions, the greatest threat is caused by breakdowns that lead to gas leaks, so it is recommended to give preference to models with an automatic shutdown function. We also advise you to familiarize yourself with the reasons for the explosion of a gas water heater.

Electrolux column - malfunctions and methods for eliminating them

The operating instructions indicate common causes of water heater failure. Judging by consumer reviews, the Electrolux flow-through gas water heater is generally a fairly reliable water heater that rarely fails.

Common malfunctions of the Electrolux gas instantaneous boiler are described in the table:

What caused the problem

The burner does not turn on.

Poor water heating.

The main burner goes out during operation.

There is a smell of gas.

Most faults, as can be seen from the table, can be resolved independently. If the boiler does not work after following the described recommendations, you should contact the Gas Service or service center and call a technician.

How to light a gas water heater: ignition methods

Many consumers are confident that using geysers at home is life-threatening, as a gas leak may occur or the water heater may explode

Previously, old-style speakers were installed in homes, which could fail if the owners ignored safety precautions when using them. Modern geysers are a new type of device with automatic protection

Before you start using the gas water heater, you should carefully study the instructions

You should not use outdated models of geysers - they require an extremely careful and careful approach, which will make its use extremely inconvenient. In order to ignite an old-style column, you must use manual ignition. Modern devices turn on and work automatically in most cases.

Methods for turning on units:

1. Manual ignition. It is mainly suitable for igniting older models. Earlier to light the column. It was necessary to use matches to light the wick. First, it was necessary to open the water supply, which was connected to the column. Then open the main valve, and then make sure that gas is supplied to the ignition wick. The pilot wick continued to burn even in the absence of water pressure. The speaker had to be turned off manually. At home, using speakers of this type is not advisable.

Piezo ignition. In many types of speakers this element is installed. When you press the button, the wick in the combustion chamber ignites. The ignition wick ignites due to the mechanical force causing a spark. To turn on the main burner, it is necessary to activate the main regulator, which supplies gas.

Automation. Modern modifications involve automatic ignition of the wick and main burner. The turbine is responsible for this; it turns on due to the water pressure. The only problem with the operation of such a column may be insufficient water pressure.

When installing modern speakers, you can be sure that they are safe to use. In order to use them you do not need special knowledge and skills. But if the column breaks down, you need to contact the gas service directly. Repairing speakers yourself is strictly prohibited.

Reviews of Electrolux gas instantaneous boilers

Before purchasing an Electrolux speaker, you should study real reviews from customers and experts. Operating experience will help you decide on the choice of gas boiler.

Review of popular column faults

Gas water heaters of the Electrolux brand are highly reliable, but their owners also face a number of problems, which we will discuss in more detail. Some of them can be diagnosed and fixed on your own, but to repair certain breakdowns you will need to contact specialists. For self-diagnosis, home craftsmen will come to the aid of the manufacturer’s instructions, which come with any geyser.

Now let's talk about popular malfunctions, possible causes of their occurrence and methods of elimination.

Problem #1 - the speaker does not turn on

If your household gas water heater does not turn on, do not rush to urgently call a specialist. To begin with, you can try to determine the cause yourself.

So, often the problem is a banal lack of gas . Some users forget to turn on the gas supply. In this case, everything will work as soon as the gas supply tap is opened.

Gas water heaters are very convenient in everyday life, because they do not take up much space, but are able to quickly heat water

Another popular reason is the blockage of the pipeline through which water is supplied . After you open the water supply, the gas water heater will operate as before.

In some cases, the problem lies in the batteries . Perhaps they are installed incorrectly or have already shrunk. In this case, you need to check the batteries and make sure that they are installed correctly and nothing is mixed up, or replace dead batteries if such a need arises.

Problem #2 - the water heats up too low

This malfunction may be due to insufficient gas pressure. Here it is enough to increase the flow using the regulator.

Often the water does not heat up well due to the fact that the water supply is set to maximum. In this case, you need to reduce the flow rate using the same regulator.

Problem #3 - the burner does not work or goes out

If your burner does not light and, accordingly, your Electrolux gas water heater does not work normally, then you first need to carefully check the smoke exhaust channel. Most often the problem lies in the chimney. Debris could have gotten into it. Because of this, the protection systems are activated, after which the gas supply is shut off.

In order to repair a wall-mounted gas water heater, you first need to remove the casing by unscrewing the fasteners

If a blockage is detected, you will have to clean the chimney pipe. This is a difficult task, but you can do the job yourself. Otherwise, you will have to call a specialist.

Another reason is low pressure in the pipeline. You need to check the water pressure in all taps. It is possible that the cause of the breakdown lies in poor operation of the general water supply network. By increasing the water flow, you will get rid of this problem.

Faulty water unit

Also, the burners in the column often go out due to a breakdown of the water unit. This problem is one of the most common. Usually the cause of failure is associated with membrane wear, filter clogging, and plaque formation. To find and fix it, you will have to disassemble the assembly, clean everything, and replace the membrane if necessary.

The water unit is another “weak link” in the design of the gas water heater. But it’s easy to disassemble it with your own hands and identify the cause of the breakdown.

Quite often, it is the formation of plaque that causes the breakdown of the water unit. Plaque appears on the water block rod. Over time, it leads to rubbing of the oil seal.

Sometimes plaque forms due to poor quality water. A similar problem will haunt you all the time if you cannot improve the quality of the water used in the gas water heater. To solve this problem, you can install filters.

The gas water heater keeps going out

If the column lights up and then immediately goes out, then it is necessary to adjust the water supply mode - both cold and hot. Do not turn on cold water at the same time as hot water. You need to use the regulator to set the water temperature so that the column operates normally again.

The igniter may go out due to the fact that the solenoid valve in the device is faulty . Problems often arise due to oxidation of contacts or breakdown of the thermocouple.

The picture shows the igniter of a household geyser from the Electrolux company. The cause of its malfunction may be the solenoid valve

A faulty system thermostat can also lead to similar consequences as a broken gas valve.

Often, after installing the gas handle, it is impossible to light the pilot light. This problem occurs due to improper installation of the spark plug. There may also be some dirt on it. In this case, the spark plug needs to be cleaned and reinstalled in a different position.

Problem #4 - you hear a popping sound when you turn it on

Popping is another pressing problem that worries many users. Usually the reason for popping noises is that the draft in the chimney is too weak. A possible option is a faulty ignition retarder. It is best to replace it with a new one.

If we are talking about a gas water heater equipped with a wick, then the cause of the malfunction lies in the incorrect position of the wick flame.

Also, discharged power supplies can also cause popping noises. They have to be replaced. It would be a good idea to test the microswitch in the water block (if you press it with your hand, there should be a spark) and check the position of the spark plug.

Problem #5 - heat exchanger failure

The heat exchanger often breaks down due to the fact that the user of the geyser does not follow the rules for operating the equipment. Frequent causes of radiator failure are the formation of scale inside the tubes and small cracks outside.

Scale is removed by washing the heat exchanger with special means, and cracks (also called “fistulas”) on copper tubes can be sealed with a gas torch.

Violation of the rules for operating a gas water heater can cause damage to the heat exchanger. In this case, if repair of this structural element is impossible, it will have to be replaced with a new one. Which won't be cheap

It can also fail after incorrect adjustment of the gas valve. In this case, you need to study the instructions and correctly configure the operation of this element.

Each geyser model has its own characteristics, so you need to look for the cause of the problem in each individual case.

Problem #6 - smell of gas in the room

The smell of gas is the most unpleasant problem that poses a health threat. The cause of the smell is a gas leak. You must immediately turn off the water heater and ventilate the room. It would not be superfluous to contact the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

And although most of the listed breakdowns can be fixed on your own, you should not take on too much. For example, do not underestimate the threat posed by gas poisoning. It is recommended to regularly inspect the gas water heater for damage and malfunctions. And if a problem is detected, immediately contact the gas service. This way you will save not only your nerves, but also your health.
