I am presently repairing about 2 -5 of these dogs a month...
for an average of $200 with me supplying parts
go look at my web page to see what is wrong
with this brand of water heater.......
you got to clean the bottom of the heater screen
or all your troubles are in vain.........
These units need to be cleaned about 3 times a year
becasue they suck up lint and hair like a vaccuum sweeper...
its all there with actual pics of the problem.....
just scroll down to the WHIRLPOOL SECTION
with pictures
and its all there for the world to see

IN MY HONEST OPINION
the people -that desigend this water heater at
AMERICAN WATER HEATERS are
totally incompetent morons......
someone, someday, is going to get seriously burned or killed
tampering with this brand themsleves
and then their will be a major RECALL, and LAWSUIT
and I hope that-- LOWES , WHIRLPOOL< and AMERICAN WATER HEATERS
who makes this piece of JUNK gets the pants
sued off of all of them..
for still selling them to an unsuspecting public...
(for about $100 dollars less than I can put a good one in for)
I am makeing pretty good money repairing them every week,
but I would rather seem them re-called and taken off the market
