E01
1 FLASH
(Red)
Dry-fire, electrical power on with the
tank not completely full of water.
1. Turn off electrical power at breaker, add water.
2. Turn on electrical power at breaker.
3. See “Important Safety Information” on page 4.
E02
2 FLASHES
(Red)
Water temperature exceeded high
limit.
1. Turn off electrical power at the breaker.
2. Press the reset button (see Figure 9).
3. Turn on electrical power at breaker.
4. If error returns call a service technician for assistance.
E03
3 FLASHES
(Red)
Upper thermistor sensor failure.
(Note: Upper thermistor sensor is
part of the ET)
1. Turn off electrical power at the breaker.
2. Replace Electronic Thermostat (ET).
3. Turn on electrical power at breaker.
E04
4 FLASHES
(Red)
Upper element circuit failure.
(Note: Lower element is still operable)
1. Turn off electrical power at the breaker.
2. Check element circuits for resistance of 5-25 ohms (replace if required).
3. Check wires at elements and Electronic Thermostat (ET) for damage.
If this 4 flashes condition continues, replace Electronic Thermostat (ET).
4. Turn on electrical power at breaker.
E05
5 FLASHES
(Red)
Lower element circuit failure.
(Note: Upper element is still operable)
1. Turn off electrical power at the breaker.
2. Check element circuits for resistance of 5-25 ohms (replace if required).
3. Check wires at elements and Electronic Thermostat (ET) for damage.
If this 5 flashes condition continues, replace Electronic Thermostat (ET).
4. Turn on electrical power at breaker.
E06
6 FLASHES
(Red)
Electronic Thermostat (ET) failure
(Internal processor).
1. Turn off electrical power at the breaker. Now turn on electrical power to
see if error clears. If error has not cleared, replace Electronic Thermo-
stat (ET).
2. Turn on electrical power at breaker.
E07
7 FLASHES
(Red)
Lower thermistor sensor failure. 1. Turn off electrical power at the breaker.
2. Check electrical connections at Electronic Thermostat (ET).
3. Replace Lower Thermistor Sensor.
4. Turn on electrical power at breaker.
E08
8 FLASHES
(Red)
Energy Saver Module (ESM)
failure.
1. Turn off electrical power.
2. Check wires at the interface module for damage.
3. If this 8 flashes condition continues, replace module (ESM).
4. See “Overriding The Interface Module (ESM)” by unplugging from the
Electronic Thermostat (ET) on page 18. NOTE: Electronic Thermostat
(ET) will continue to be operate, hot water will still be available.
5. Turn on electrical power at breaker.

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to adjust the ther-
mostat, read the “Important Safety Information”
section page 4.
The Electronic Thermostat (ET) is designed so
that it may control the water heater without the
Energy Saver Module (ESM) being operated, see
page 18.
If the instructions are not clear, contact a qualifi ed
