Control Trim has changed design on some models

(GEH50DEEDSR*, GEH50DEEDSC* and

BEH50DCEHSB*/RE2H50R10-1 NCWW). New

control, overlay and trim must be used.

Step I - Remove Bezel (some

models)

Some models (GEH50DEEDSR*,

GEH50DEEDSC* and BEH50DCEHSB*/

RE2H50R10-1NCWW) have a visible screw at the

bottom of the control which allows removal of

control housing. All other models have a bezel

which must be removed to access the screw

securing the control housing to the water heater.

• To remove the bezel pull the right side to the

right and outwards to release the mounting

tabs.

° The bottom mounting screw can now be

removed to access rear cover and wiring

connections.
