Hot Water Heater Webasto Thermostat Rebuild Guide

By Marie Burns


Is the temperature in your home fluctuating a lot recently? No matter where you set your thermostat to you never feel the heat or the air conditioner working? You are probably suffering from a broken thermostat. Thermostats are one of the great inventions of our day. Think about it, you can put the exact degree that you want your home to be at, and it automatically goes to it. As amazing as it is, it can be very frustrating when they don't work. If your room temperature is changing, it might not always be your heat regulator causing the problem. Another good indicator that it is the heat regulator is if the heat regulator itself is acting strangely by turning on and off and or other strange things. At this point you need to call a professional webasto thermostat rebuild.

Check the lower and upper thermostats- You should start both checking both the upper and lower thermostats. You can check the upper element at the two terminals that are located on the top. Use a volt meter to check if there is 220V reaching the terminals. If there is a reading that is either fluctuating or is very low, then it means that there isn't enough power reaching the coil. This will require that the heat regulator is pertaining to that coil be changed.

Usually, the power for the regulator comes from the air conditioning unit itself. So any break along this line could cause the regulator to turn off. You can check the circuit breaker in the air handler or heating split system to see if it has flipped off. Sometimes the handling unit also has a power switch on the unit that looks like a light switch.

Checking for faults in the circuit- Before you can check the circuits for faults, turn the breaker or the electricity on. Using a volt meter check each point of the coils and make sure that current is flowing to them. That said make sure that you do not set the heat regulator to the red limit.

If the problem with the regulator is not the power, it could be the location the regulator is installed. Except in very advanced models with multiple temperature sensors over the building, most regulators have the thermometer built in. That means if the regulator was built into an area that does not represent the air temperature in your home then it will give false readings.

A plastic cover encases the heat regulator, and you may need to remove the dial before you can get to it. Lift off and remove the plastic cover gently so that you do not drag out or damage any wires in the process. After you have removed the cover, you will notice two wires, exposed.

Check to ensure that the circuit is closed with a continuity tester probe, but only if you are sure about the correct way to use it. If the circuit is closed, then you can be sure that the problem lies elsewhere. Call a professional repair service provider who can probe around more thoroughly to located and determine the root of the problem.

The regulator dial may be set incorrectly. The regulator dial may get knocked accidentally while using the refrigerator. If you find it set wrong, correct it to read 37-degrees Fahrenheit, as the optimum temperature to keep food fresh is between 37 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If you still retain the manufacturer's manual, follow the guidelines for the exact temperature mentioned here. Check the temperature after about an hour using a meat thermometer and ensure that you also check the temperature inside the freezer.
