Our water heater is now causing our circuit breaker to trip, can it be fixed?

[PiKa]

Internal condensation.
Replace with same model. No need redrill
Aston brand need to replace rod else leak rusty water.
I struck with same Joven brand

 

[Jelly8]

Suggest change a new one. And I also realised that the installer only used two wires instead of three. Third for ground I think

 

[PiKa]

exactky. If tripped means safety feature is working


is a signal to get a new one and stop using the current one.

Yes. Better than kena zap.
TS don't miss this warning

Wont the same model spoil quickly?

 

[SuperClubby]

I'll just throw and change to KDK(Pana)/AOS/Rheem.

The repair+transport costs doesn't make sense to have it repaired since there's no official warranty anymore.

jovan brand so many problems?

Wait till you see leaky Ariston

Reliable brand can consider one Japanese brand trusted by PG and boomers call KDK.

That's a Panasonic, this model has the older series shower head compared to the main unit.

Our Joven heater is now causing the circuit breaker to trip every time we try to turn it on. Purchased in March 2023, i think its just past the 2 year warranty period.

Is this something that can be fixed if we call a technician? Or do we need to buy a brand new one? If we need to buy, can anyone recommend a reliable brand? A water heater should not be breaking 2 years after we purchased it...

Keep tripping better change and get a qualified electrician to install for you. There are cases where the circuit breaker don't trip and people get electrocuted to death.

Make sure the electrician test that the new unit will trip the circuit breaker if short circuit. Nowadays too many Alibaba electrician/installer.

Maybe issue is not with the water heater…it might be the wiring already rotting…..don’t keep pulling the switch up in the main board when trip…it might affect the overall circuit breaker that’s outside your house…as what other ppl say….should get a electrician to check the heater and the wire

 

[hardindex]

Where to find a technician to repair? The joven service center is not open today. And how much should it cost?

Repair liao, you dare to use or not?

The metal part or plastic likely use cheap one, water leak plus electricity. don't think simple repair can fit

Can. Call the technician and ask for a quote. If too expensive, just buy new ones. Next time don't buy expensive ones. Those usual ones will do and they cost less than $80. Almost no point to repair. Though the installation cost can be another $60. I recalled I ordered one with installation charges included for $80+...

 

[Conway]

pls do not save money on this

its not worth it

get a new one and ask a qualified electrician to install it for u

 

[pohw0008]

Mine last time got burning smell cause they didn't install properly.. only happen after few years.. call back my renovation coy (the one installing) ask them come fix for me.. kns they probably outsource some cheapo installer.. after they replace the whole wire ok liao.. so far no problem after 5 years liao.. mine is also cheapo water heater..

 

[hwarzoner]

get a new one for piece of mind. got climate vouchers just nice can use

 

[PiKa]

Wont the same model spoil quickly?

Think.. most thing has life span ba. My experience with storage heater 25L is that it last around 5 to 8 years. After that will keep tripping.
5 years seems good already for me.
I have ready about Aston brand storage heater horrible storages of the rods. So I think keep to the same brand, piping same, still works for me .

 

[lalalalalala]

Pls buy new one if ure asking such questions. Short circuit is not something to play with. Your c b is preventing you from DEATH.

 

[PiKa]

Is urs storage heater as well?
If instant, go for 707 should be better ..
Based on my limited experiences

They rebranded Panasonic sets?

 

[TopGun]

go AOSmith/AOBath and dont look back.

This one yes. Best qualify of life improvement ever, other than the robot vacuum.

 

[Coldhead]

high chance is faulty heating element, if faulty thermostat is can turn on(got green light) but heating element cannot toggle on/off
