Troubleshooting

Symptom

Solution  

The water flow of the geyser  

has decreased

Check for debris in the inlet sieve and in the 
outlet fittings (shower rose / kitchen spout 
sieve)

The geyser is dead or the ignitors 

are firing weakly / slowly

Replace the batteries

Water leaking from the geyser

Call a Dewhot Technician

The gas geyser wont switch on

Check the contact terminals in the battery 
box for rust.  Tip - Drill two 3-4 mm drain 
holes in the battery box lid to stop any 
moisture build up in the future.

The geyser has new batteries 

and the water is flowing through 

the geyser but does not ignite 

properly

Disconnect the inlet (cold) & outlet (Hot) 
water connection, check for debris in the 
sieve and blow through the geyser to see if 
it will ignite.  If not, replace the water flow 
sensor.

The unit ignites  

but with a loud bang

Check the ignitors are firing correctly from 
the end of the pins, they will normally be 
corroded / carboned up and will need 
cleaning or replacing.
Check that the ignitor wires and flame out 
sensor are not brittle or shorting out. make 
sure they are cleaned off.
