@@ecologicaltime I agree with Lucan - you have saved me a plumber call-out and taught me some very necessary home-life skills. You could start your own on-line school for home maintenance!

Good video. Remember, Live wire is BROWN in South Africa... Blue is Neutral, Green/Yellow is Earth.

Sitting in the roof on the trusses , following step by step, awesome guide!

Brilliant Video!!! And even relevant today to help me out of a pickle... Clear, concise and to the point... and i even learned how to test the element and thermostat confidently. You're a great teacher and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Fan for life!

Nicely done. Learned a lot about testing the element and thermostat My geyser tripped the mains. The rubber seal perished, and water got in between the two terminals of the element. Replaced the rubber, and that solved the problem.

Thanks for this video! I have never done anything like a geyser before and I managed to replace the element, thermostat and gasket by watching your video. I was quoted R2.5k for the job and managed to do it for R553 plus my time.

The space you are working in to get this content 🙏🏾🙏🏾☺️

The best so far step by step guide,easy for a first-time(DIY) user.Thank you so much.

Brilliant step by step instructions. My geyser was tripping at the DB box. I watched your video and was able to change the thermostat, element, and gasket for the first time. Thank you.

Philip! LEGEND video! I wish all DIY videos were this good and thorough! Thanks. Now I know what's involved and don't need to spend a small fortune for a plumber to do this. Appreciate your attention to detail (like cleaning to the outside and also torqueing the element plate).

Thanks for the video - clear & concise - I was to establish the fault was with the thermostat - replaced it in 20 minutes and saved a whole lot of money

Very helpful, I identified and replaced a broken thermostat swiftly thanks to you explanatory video.

Excellent video, thank you! Saved me a ton of aggravation and taught me some tricks I would otherwise have missed!

Fantastic video. Managed to replace my element and thermostat in 20min after viewing.

Thanks for posting this. Totally sorted out my hot water issue. Quick trip to Build It for a new element and good to go. Shout out from Durban. Thanks!

Thank you very much for this informative video, I also have a KWIKOT 600 Dual Electric Water Heater IPx4 Rated geyser bought at Cashbuild/Builders's Warehouse (cant remember), after 4,5 years installed and working perfectly, it started tripping the earth leakage circuit breaker on the main switch. I first replaced the thermostat but the problem continued (which means the original thermostat was still in good condition, hence I kept it). I then went on to replace the element and the problem was fixed! This video is very helpful!

Brilliant video. Followed it step by step replacing both items. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

Lekker demo bro. Straight forward, no nonsense, good information, first class!

Bro, thanks a lot for this step by step video, I’m currently looking to replace my geyser element as it’s tripping the main earth leakage. It’s a 3kW element and resistance test is about 16ohms. Thermostat seems ok, as it switches on the live contact. Had geyser installer replacing the element early in the year and has done a horrible job. Thanks once again, now I can do the job myself correctly.

Hi what was the issue with your geyser? Mine is tripping the earth only when I open the hot water tap

Just sorted mine out, was leaking badly with water coming out of 'what looked like' through the thermostat. Turns out the seal inside had turned to jelly, what was left of it. No.5 allen bolt was also loose. Suspect because of the seal disintegrating so no amount of tightening would help in the long term. Replaced seal and element for good measure. Thx for the useful video mate.

This is really great and informative, great content. My geyser is not warming the water, Im checking it out tomorrow and I'm confident that I'll get it right after watching this video. Thank you sir

Brilliant video, the way u explained everything was perfect. I today have the issue with thermostat and element, now I will go about doing it exactly like u explained, I just don't have a multimeter but I am happy with the video. Thank u so much and God bless. Wish u well for the future sir 🙏

Hi, thanks for the video. It's one of the best about repairing it

Thanks for the very thorough and clear video. In my case, the problem was the element. I took a chance and replaced it based on symptoms, without the thorough testing shown in the video, but the result was good. The part I was stuck with was draining the water out of the geyser inside the ceiling. I was used to doing it up on top of the roof from a solar geyser, but it was the first time I had to drain a geyser inside the ceiling. Definitely a video that a non-technical person like myself can go back to over and over again. Thank you so muck!

Awesome video. Very well executed. Very helpful!

This was very helpfull ....thank you very much

Very good step by step guide. Thanx

This video is awesome, only part which I'm unclear on is draining the Geyser...

very good "idiot - proof" demonstration. We need more people like you on KZread

Well done mate, very helpful.

Thank you for this video it helped me out, greatly appreciated

Thank you very helpfull. Good workkeep it up.

Perfectly explained ❤

Thank you. Im doing this today and was not sure how to remove the thermostat for testimg.It is my timer as well

Very informative, thanks.

Great video, ill be changing a geyser element next week and havent changed one in like 7 years so good to brush up on the process by watching your video!

Kwikot 400kpa khn3.214 pressure valve is humming now after replacing it 4 years ago. Running cold water taps makes a low humming sound. Flushing a guest toilet upstairs makes the regulator hum like crazy, the whole house is filled with this loud moaning, and the regulator even has a high frequency vibration when I touch it. No solution anywhere. I'm thinking I need to service the pressure control cartridge which is the best thing I can guess from online info. What I know is that my unit is serviceable and yet if I call any plumber they will tell me it's broke and I need to buy a new one. Then they score my one and just service it. Holy moly I just figured it out. 😂

Thanks. This was very helpful.

Thank you for for professionalism

Thank you for this 👍🏼

Thanks alot keep up a good job I really like your videos

Thank you, made replacing my element kids play

Brilliant video thanks you 👌

Dude, thank you so f*ing much for helping me solve the big geyser issue, but min cash problem!

Dankie. Ek sien nou kaans om dit te doen.

Thanks for guidance

Thank you Dr. Baron Clear instructions as always. I will be changing the FLG-337 due to leaks. I might as well do the element while at it.

Thank u for your input .

Thanks my brother i keep it up

Great Video thanks. Just a note of caution, so that other people don't make the same mistake I did, if you buy a nasty splash works replacement element from Builders Warehouse the threads on the heating element that you screw the Allen bolt into, which secures the element to the bulkhead fitting aren't cut deep enough for the bolt to pull the element tight up against the rubber gasket. So what happens is you tighten the bolt, install everything and as you fill the geyser water starts pouring out around the element and you think how can that be? Truth is the Splashworks element is a poorly made POS. You then drain the geyser again unbolt everything in a hot, confined precarious environment and have to use a M6x 1.0 tap to tap the threads full depth in the back of the element, so that the Allen head bolt will screw in deep enough to clamp the element firmly up to the rubber gasket. Other than this frustration of buying substandard merchandise, element replacement was exactly as you described. Look forward to more of your DIY videos.

Baie dankie, awesome video.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for the help

Excellent video

If it's not wear and tear on the element, please make sure the geyser doesn't siphon out when the main cold water is shutoff, this could be a faulty vacuum breaker... must eliminate the cause of the problem, but a helpful video 👍

Water is streaming out from the element terminals encapsulated in orange plastic.What could be the problem.Basically replaced everything at the electrical connection and the flange gasket.thank you.

Excellent Video

Thank for a very good video.

Thanks a stack for the very informative video. Any suggestions on how to solve air in hot water supply, seems to happen frequently, water spluttering, then goes away until next time...

Very helpful 🙌🤝

Good video thanks for posting

Have u done one with geyser pressure valve replacement. I got an issue that with my one, water flowing out none stop. I did switch off geyser and close the water inlet tap before the pressure valve. The water that run out is not hot but cold, however the water from the hot tap is hot as normally are.

Greet video, thank you

Thank you so much
