Temperature detecting device which prevents the pipes within the water
heater from freezing. When this device detects temperatures below
36.5˚F (2.5˚C) inside the water heater, power is supplied to the electric
heaters to prevent the water heater from freezing.
Failure events
1. ON-failure (Always senses freezing temperatures, regardless of actual
temperature).
2. OFF-failure (Never senses freezing temperatures).
Effects on the water
heater if the freeze
protection thermostat
fails
1. The freeze protection heaters will always be ON, causing heat damage to
components inside the water heater.
2. The freeze protection heaters will never be able to turn on, even under
freezing temperatures, causing freeze damage to the water heater.
