Housekeeping
Vacuum  around  base  of  water  heater  for  dust,  dirt,  and  lint  on 
a regular basis.
AT LEAST  ONCE  EVERY  SIX  MONTHS  A  VISUAL  INSPECTION 
SHOULD  BE MADE  OF THE  AIR INTAKE  SCREEN. CLEAN 
IF LINT  ACCUMULATIONS  ARE NOTICED.
INSTALLED IN SUITABLE AREA: To insure sufficient ventilation 
and  combustion  air  supply,  proper  clearances  from  the  water 
heater  must  be  maintained.  See  Facts  to  Consider About  the 
Location  section.  Combustible  materials  such  as  clothing, 
cleaning materials, or flammable liquids, etc. must not be placed 
against  or  adjacent  to  the  water  heater  because  they  could 
catch on fire.
Anode Rod
Each  heater  contains  at  least  one  anode  rod,  which  will 
slowly  deplete  while  protecting  the  glass-lined  tank  from 
c o r r o s i o n   a n d   p r o l o n g i n g   t h e   l i f e   o f   t h e   w a t e r   h e a t e r. 
Once  the  anode  is  depleted,  the  tank  will  start  to  corrode, 
eventually  developing  a  leak.  The  use  of  a  water  softener 
may  decrease  the  life  of  the  water  heater  tank. The  anode 
rod should be removed from the water heater tank every 3 
years  for  inspection.  The  following  are  typical  (but  not  all) 
signs of a depleted anode rod:
• The majority of the rod’s diameter is less than 3/8”.
•  Significant sections of the support wire (approx. 1/3 or more 
of the anode rod’s length) are visible. 
If  the  anode  rod  shows  signs  of  either  or  both  it  should  be 
replaced.  NOTE:  Whether  re-installing  or  replacing  the  anode 
rod,  check  for  any  leaks  and  immediately  correct  if  found.  In 
situations where clearance above the water heater is limited it 
may be necessary to bend the anode rod for removal. Flexible 
anode rods are available for replacement.
In replacing the anode:
1. Turn off gas supply to the water heater.
2.  Shut off the water supply and open a nearby hot water faucet 
to depressurize the water tank.
3.  Drain  approximately  5  gallons  of  water  from  tank  (Refer  to 
the “Draining  and  Flushing”  section  for proper  procedures). 
Close drain valve.
4.  Remove old anode rod.
5.  Use  Teflon
®  tape  or  approved  pipe  sealant  on  threads  and 
install new anode rod.
6.  Turn  on  water  supply  and  open  nearby  hot  water  faucet 
to  purge  air  from  water  system.  Check  for  any  leaks  and 
immediately correct any if found.
7.  Restart  the  water  heater  as  directed  under  the  “Operating 
Your Water Heater” section. See the “Repair Parts Illustration” 
section for anode rod location.
Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve Operation
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated 
at least once a year.
When checking the temperature-pressure relief valve operation, 
make  sure  that  (1)  no  one  is  in  front  of  or  around  the  outlet  of 
the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that 
the water discharge will not cause any property damage, as the 
water may be extremely hot, see Figure 25.
FIGURE  25.
If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset 
and continues to release water, immediately close the cold water 
inlet  to  the  water  heater,  follow  the  draining  instructions,  and 
replace the temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one. 
						

							
22

Drain Valve Washer Replacement 
(See Figure 26)
1. Turn “OFF” gas supply to water heater.
2.  Follow “Draining” instructions.
3.  Turning counter clockwise ( 
 ), remove the hex cap below 
the screw handle. 
4.  Remove the washer and put the new one in place.
5.  Screw the handle and cap assembly back into the drain valve 
and retighten using a wrench. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
6.  Follow instructions in the 
Filling The Water Heater section.
7.  Check for leaks.
8.  Follow the lighting instructions in the 
Lighting section to restart 
the water heater.
FIGURE  26.
Service
Before  calling  for  repair  service,  read  the Start  Up  Conditions 
and Operational Conditions found in the Troubleshooting Guide 
of this manual.
If a condition persists or you are uncertain about the operation of 
the water heater, let the Sears Service Center check it out.
Contact Sears Service Center at:
1-800-4-MY-HOME® (1-800-469-4663).
If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps or 
discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion.  You 
may have a check valve installed in the water line or a water meter 
with a check valve. Consult the Sears Service Center for  further 
information. Do not plug the temperature-pressure relief valve.
Draining
The  water  heater  should  be  drained  if  being  shut  down  during 
freezing  temperatures.   Also  periodic  draining  and  cleaning  of 
sediment from the tank may be necessary.
1. Turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position.
2.  CLOSE the cold water inlet valve to the water heater.
3.  OPEN a nearby hot water faucet and leave open to allow for 
draining.
4.  Connect  a  hose  to  the  drain  valve  and  terminate  to  an 
adequate drain.
5.  OPEN  the  water  heater  drain  valve  to  allow  for  tank 
draining.
 
 NOTE: If the water heater is going to be shut down and 
drained for an extended period, the drain valve should be 
left open with hose connected allowing water to terminate 
to an adequate drain.
6.  Close the drain valve.
7.  Follow instructions in the Filling The Water heater section.
8.  Follow the lighting instructions in the Lighting section to restart 
the water heater.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Start Up Conditions
Thermal Expansion
Water supply system may, because of such events as high line 
pressure, frequent cut-offs and the effects of water hammer have 
installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, 
back  flow  preventers,  etc.,  to  control  these  types  of  problems.  
When these devices are not equipped with an internal by-pass, 
and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water 
system  to  be  closed.  As  water  is  heated,  it  expands  (thermal 
expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion 
of heated water.
The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and 
increases the pressure of the water system.  If the relieving point 
of water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, 
the  valve  will  relief  the  excess  pressure.   The  temperature-
pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief 
of thermal expansion.  This is an unacceptable condition and 
must be corrected.
It  is  recommended  that  any  devices  installed  which  could 
create a closed system have a by-pass and/or the system have 
an  expansion  tank  or  device  to  relieve  the  pressure  built  by 
thermal expansion.  Thermal expansion tanks are available from 
Sears stores and through the Sears Service Centers.  Contact 
the  local  plumbing  inspector,  water  supplier  and/or  the  Sears 
Service  Center  for  assistance  in  controlling  these  situations,  
see Figure 27.

that pressure, but must not be higher than 80 psi.
FIGURE 27.
Strange Sounds
Possible noises due to expansion and contraction of some metal 
parts during periods of heat-up and cool-down do not represent 
harmful or dangerous conditions.
Condensation causes sizzling and popping within the burner area 
during  heating  and  cooling  periods  and  should  be  considered 
normal.  See Condensation section.
Draft Hood Operation
Check  draft  hood  operation  by  performing  a  worst  case 
depressurization  of  the  building.  With  all  doors  and  windows 
closed,  and  with  all  air  handling  equipment  and  exhaust  fans 
operating  such  as  furnaces,  clothes  dryers,  range  hoods  and 
bathroom fans, a match flame should still be drawn into the draft 
hood of the water heater with its burner firing. If the flame is not 
drawn  toward  the  draft  hood,  shut  off  water  heater  and  make 
necessary air supply changes to correct. 
						

							
24

Condensation
Whenever  the  water  heater  is  filled  with  cold  water,  some 
condensate will form while the burner is on. A water heater may 
appear to be leaking when in fact the water is condensation. This 
usually happens when: 
• A new water heater is filled with cold water for the first time.
•  Burning  gas  produces  water  vapor  In  water  heaters, 
particularly  high  efficiency  models  where  flue  temperatures 
are lower.
•  Large amounts of hot water are used in a short time and the 
refill water in the tank is very cold.
Moisture  from  the  products  of  combustion  condense  on  the 
cooler  tank  surfaces  and  form  drops  of  water  which  may  fall 
onto the burner or other hot surfaces to produce a “sizzling” or 
“frying” noise.
Excessive  condensation  can  cause  pilot  outage  due  to  water 
running  down  the  flue  tube  onto  the  main  burner  and  putting 
out the pilot.
Because of the suddenness and amount of water, condensation 
water  may  be  diagnosed  as  a  “tank  leak”.  After  the  water  in 
the  tank  warms  up  (about  1-2  hours),  the  condition  should 
disappear.
Do not assume the water heater is leaking until there has been 
enough time for the water in the tank to warm up. 
An  undersized  water  heater  will  cause  more  condensation. 
The  water  heater  must  be  sized  properly  to  meet  the  family’s 
demands for hot water including dishwashers, washing machines 
and shower heads.
Excessive condensation may be noticed during the winter and 
early spring months when incoming water temperatures are at 
their lowest.
Good venting is essential for a gas fired water heater to operate 
properly  as  well  as  to  carry  away  products  of  combustion  and 
water vapor. 
Smoke Odor
It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke and 
odor  during  the  initial  start-up.  This  is  due  to  burning  off  of  oil 
from metal parts, and will disappear in a short while.
Operational Conditions
Smelly Odor
In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod (see 
parts section) for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain water 
conditions will cause a reaction between this rod and the water. 
The most common complaint associated with the anode rod is 
one of a “rotten egg smell”. This odor is derived from hydrogen 
sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result of four 
factors which must all be present for the odor to develop: • 
a concentration of sulfate in the supply water.
•  little or no dissolved oxygen in the water.
•  a  sulfate  reducing  bacteria  within  the  water  heater.  (This 
harmless bacteria is non-toxic to humans.)
•  an excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by 
the corrosion protective action of the anode.
Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater 
models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active material, 
and  then  chlorinating  the  water  heater  tank  and  all  hot  water 
lines. Contact Sears Service for further information concerning 
an  Anode  Replacement  Kit  #9001453  and  this  Chlorination 
Treatment. Anode replacement  and chlorination of the tank are 
not covered by the water heater’s limited warranty.
If  the  smelly  water  persists  after  the  anode  replacement  and 
chlorination treatment, it may be necessary to chlorinate or aerate 
your water supply to eliminate the problem.
Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By 
doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.
“AIR” In Hot Water Faucets
HYDROGEN  GAS:  Hydrogen  gas  can  be  produced  in  a  hot 
water system that has not been used for a long period of time 
(generally  two  weeks  or  more).  Hydrogen  gas  is  extremely 
flammable  and  explosive.  To  prevent  the  possibility  of  injury 
under  these  conditions,  we  recommend  the  hot  water  faucet, 
located  farthest  away,  be  opened  for  several  minutes  before 
any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water 
system are used (such as a dishwasher or washing machine). 
If  hydrogen  gas  is  present,  there  will  probably  be  an  unusual 
sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water 
faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near 
the faucet at the time it is open.
High Temperature Shut Off System
This  water  heater  is  equipped  with  an  automatic  gas  shutoff 
system.  This system works when high water temperatures are 
present.  Turn “OFF” the entire gas supply to the water heater. 
The high temperature shutoff is built into the gas control valve. It is 
non-resettable. If the high temperature shutoff activates, the gas 
control valve must be replaced.  Contact your gas supplier.

Operational Conditions (Continued)
Leakage Checkpoints
FIGURE 28.
Read this manual first. Then before checking the water heater 
make sure the gas supply has been turned “OFF”, and never turn 
the gas “ON” before the tank is completely full of water.
Never  use  this  water  heater  unless  it  is  completely  filled  with 
water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with 
water.  Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning 
“ON” gas to the water heater, see Figure 28.
A. Water at the draft hood is water vapor which has condensed 
out of the combustion products.  This is caused by a problem 
in the vent. Contact the gas utility.
B.   *Condensation  may  be  seen  on  pipes  in  humid  weather  or 
pipe connections may be leaking.
C.   *The anode rod fitting may be leaking.
D.   Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief valve 
may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in 
your area.
E.   *The temperature-pressure relief valve may be leaking at the 
tank fitting.
F.   Water from a drain valve may be due to the valve being slightly 
opened.
G.  *The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.
H.   Combustion  products  contain  water  vapor  which  can 
condense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. Droplets form 
and drip onto the burner or run on the floor. This is common 
at  the  time  of  start-up  after  installation  and  when  incoming 
water is cold.
I.   Water  in  the  water  heater  bottom  or  on  the  floor  may  be 
from  condensation,  loose  connections,  or  the  relief  valve.  
DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all 
possible  water  sources  is  made  and  necessary  corrective 
steps taken.
Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage 
should also be checked.
* To  check  where  threaded  portion  enters  tank,  insert  cotton 
swab between jacket opening and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow 
“Draining”  instructions  in  the Periodic  Maintenance  section 
and then remove fitting. Put pipe dope or Teflon tape on the 
threads  and  replace.  Then  follow Filling  the  Water  Heater 
instructions in the Installing the New Water Heater section.
