The breaker is doing what it is supposed to do. That is good. It is protecting your purchase .... and yourself from a meltdown. The breaker capacity needs to be compatible with your unit specifications ..... and your wiring needs to be compatible with both. The unit will do what it is supposed to if you follow those steps. Titan will assist you with these types of questions ..... Why not trust the source ..... They don´t bite ! Bill

This unit draws a tremendous load when it kicks on.make sure you have a 60 amp breaker and the correct gage wire. When I had this unit, my lights used to dim when the heater kicked on...

There should be a thermal link (fuse) some where in it as a safety feature. It could have blown if the unit got to hot. Also look at heating element, it could have split from calcium in the water.

Hello, the exact same happened to mine after about 1 year of use. I removed the unit, drained it and opened up the top. On mine, one of the connections from the thermostat to the heating element had broken. I repaired mine with some silver solder and a small butane torch. It's been working great ever since. That was approx 2 years ago. My advice is, it's not working anyway, so just tinker around with it. Just remember to put the heating element in water before you power it up or you may burn it up.

The only thing I can think of is incorrect wiring or you have it hooked up to something that is trying to draw more amperage than the unit can handle and it's tripping rather than switching anything on. Perhaps it's a protection circuit? Have you tried hooking it up to something that draws lower power? I had mine wired to a heating pad as a warming pad for a while to start seedlings. Then I wired it into a home made aquarium type heater. I don't get any 'alarms', my unit works perfectly every time. I'd have to see how you wired it and what it's wire to in order to help. Sorry.

it will break if you turn it on without submersing.. either it's completely broken or the temp in the tank is already warmer than the set temp... you can possibly test by turning the setting up until you see a light or wait a couple hours and check frequently.. or the light is broken. these heaters are pretty good.. accurate within 1° for me!

On my unit there is a reset button on the back panel near the top in the middle of the panel. I turned mine over intentionally to make sure the heating elements would power down and they did. I had to press the reset button to restart the heater.

I'm not sure I have 2 of these heater, the first one caught on fire, they told me it had something to do with the wires going to the thermostat. They sent me another one, got it out of the box would not light. That told me it was my regurlator, so I go and buy another one, and it still don't work. So if you find somewhere to get parts let me know so maybe I can find out what's wrong with mine.

Not that I know of. If you haven't already, you may want to check your home circuit breaker/fuse box and ground-fault circuit interrupter (if any) to see if anything has been tripped.

Dear Michael, I am sorry to read that you are experiencing problems with this heater as well - it sounds like exactly the issue we had. Please avoid the mistake I made and do not spend thousands on attempts to fix it. Please read my review to get a sense of what we experienced and don't waste any more time and money on this product. By the way, the water heater I replaced it with is still going strong and I haven't had to think about hot water since I got rid of the Bosch. Best of luck!

I have not experienced that at all. Wonder if you have a faulty one. You could contact leviton they would be able to help you or replace it.

I have the sensor wire wrapped around my hot water heater. My daughter dropped juice on the floor and the sensor wire. The alarm sounded and the only way to stop it was to disconnect the modular plug at the unit. After I dried everything, then reconnected the wire and everything was good to go.

If it's brand new, it may not be broken. You likely have too much water in the basin. Remove the tank, empty the basin, replace the tank, try again.

I suspect that the water is not hot enough, either because of the washing machine settings or because the water coming out of the water heater is not hot enough, or both. I am not a technician but this can be the cause, specially if you tried different bottles. Otherwise it could be just one bad bottle.

Heater has a built-in thermostat which I believe turns on at 40 deg F. Is it likely the water was colder than 40 deg, when it was working? If it was colder than 40, then, and higher, now, that would be the problem. Also, I'm sure you've already checked power at your outlet, but if you're connected through a GFI outlet, even the slightest electrical leakage to ground will trip it when the heater goes into the water. (We're connected through a GFI, and that's been a concern for us.) It's a pretty simple system, so if neither of those checks resolve the problem, I'm afraid the heater may may have just failed.

We had one and in order to fix that problem, it had to be shipped back to the company, packed in a exact way and they supposedly would reset it. Ours was only 1 yr. old and we had used it 3 months during the winter. We paid more for a better warranty and we ended up just junking it. Good luck as we were not happy with the iHeater.

Has not happened to me but I suggest you try to disconnect from the water supply, remove the battery and wait for a minute before putting it back.

Not likely, I've had 2 of these do the same thing, either the heating element went out or the sensor that detects that there is water in the unit is bad, either way the repair part required would probably be to expensive to replace, so enjoy you nice big oversized toaster.
