so i went to take the trash out other night thank god bcuz i noticed that the ridiculous plastic fittings and clips blew apart and was flooding fast. i replaced o ring s mixing valve and flow sensor inlet body, fixed leak. So now i try to run it and the gfi trips as it gets up to temp. breaker doesn’t blow just plug. 🔌 i tried different outlet still can’t keep it on anyone ? tell me whst i need. my typing /texting is sub par at best . summertime i want valve off heat ? 🤷🏽 🤦

Sounds like something got wet. Are you saying you plugged it into a non GFCI outlet and it didn't work?

If so something got wet maybe a hair drier could dry things out. If some of the controls got wet then all bets are off and they probably need replacement.

hey yes it definitely was soaked and now that ive replaced it dried it out heat side seems fine its when dhw side fires 🔥 to 120. it will shut it self down

i know im probably going to have to call someone to come in for service im thinking tons of things from condensation filling extremely fast . not sure why snd if the gsuge should read full. ? the dryer worked last year on heat pump inside its like water is scalding and wife says she likes it that way. i want to think that’s a problem for alot of this melting orings that flooded me. if u can see this any help ill take it.

Oh and yes i tried an extension chord from a different plug but it ended up being a gfi too.

sorry 2 sleepless nights worrying with wetvvac ready trying not to be a hero or overstep my knowledge. its hard for me to admit i cant fix things myself and i do know there may not be one ☝️ answer to my problem so its just tough.

I have one and run my DHW at 125° F what temp did you have yours at, you might be right about melting the rings on the mixing valves but I run my heating side at 180° F and the 3-way valve, which is also plastic seems to handle it okay. I'm on my 4th heating season now with no issues.
