1. INSPECT WATER INLET WITH THERMOSTAT SUB-ASSEMBLY





(a) The valve opening temperature is marked on the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.





(b) Submerge the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly, and then gradually heat the water.
(c) Check the valve opening temperature.
Valve opening temperature:
80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F)
HINT:
The valve opening temperature is stamped on the water inlet with thermostat.





(d) Check the valve lift.
Valve lift:
8.0 mm (0.315 in.) or more at 95°C (203°F)
HINT:
If the valve lift value is not as specified, replace the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.

(e) When the temperature of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly drops below 77°C, check that the valve is fully closed.
HINT:
If the valve is not fully closed, replace the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
