Function
Measure cold/hot water temperatures in the water heater.
Failure events
Unable to properly measure water temperatures within the water heater.
Effects on the water
heater if thermistor
fails
If resistance values are just off, The water heater will have temperature fluctuations
in hot water.
Error codes when
thermistors fails

Diagnostic
1. Visual inspection: connection/breakage of wires and/or debris on thermistor.
2. Check voltages and resistance; proper range of values shown below.
