Vulcan Water Heater Troubleshooting Tips
We hope you never have any water heater problems. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, things go wrong from time to time. This could be down to incorrect use or installation, general wear and tear or the rarity of a manufacturing fault. Here are a few simple tips that will help if you are in the process of Vulcan water heater troubleshooting.
Consult your user manual
The first thing you should always do is look at the user manual that came with your water heater. There is usually a section for frequently asked questions or troubleshooting issues. You should be able to solve any minor issues on your own with the help of the user manual. Have you lost your manual? Don’t beat yourself up about it. You probably bought the water heater some time ago and made sure you put the user manual in a safe place – so safe that you’ve forgotten exactly where it is. We’ve all done it. Water heaters last for so long, it’s understandable if you’ve misplaced the user guide. All you have to do is contact the manufacturer or the supplier and ask for a copy. That brings us to our next point.
Contact the manufacturer
The best thing about having a Vulcan heater is knowing you can access manufacturer support. Vulcan is actually owned by Rheem, a highly reputable Australian brand. If something goes wrong, know that you can access local support and replacement parts without having to speak to someone overseas. They will be able to supply you with a copy of the relevant user manual and point you in the direction for the right advice. You can find all of the contact information for Vulcan/Rheem on their website.
Speak to a professional
If you’ve spoken to the manufacturer and looked at your user manual and you still can’t figure out the problem, it might be time to call a plumber. For tricky issues, it is always best to get professional advice before you try to fix the problem yourself. This is the best option for both your safety and for the longevity (and possible warranty) of your water heater.
Search online
If you’re curious and you’d like to give the diagnosis a go on your own, there are plenty of videos and articles online from other people and plumbers who have repaired or maintained Vulcan heaters. Again, we recommend that you seek professional assistance above all other options .
