How to Replace an Ecosmart 27 Flow Sensor in Your Home

If you own an Ecosmart 27 tankless water heater, you know the importance of keeping it in good working condition. One component that is crucial to the proper functioning of your water heater is the flow sensor. The flow sensor is responsible for detecting the flow of water through the unit and ensuring that the heater only operates when water is flowing. Over time, the flow sensor may become damaged or malfunction, leading to issues with your water heater. In this article, we will discuss how to replace the flow sensor in your Ecosmart 27 tankless water heater.

Before you begin the replacement process, it is important to gather all the necessary tools and materials. You will need a Screwdriver, a Wrench, and a replacement flow sensor for your specific Ecosmart 27 model. It is also recommended to turn off the power to your water heater before starting any work to ensure your Safety.

To begin the replacement process, locate the flow sensor on your Ecosmart 27 water heater. The flow sensor is typically located near the inlet pipe where water enters the unit. Once you have located the flow sensor, use a screwdriver to remove the Screws holding it in place. Carefully disconnect the wires attached to the flow sensor and set the old sensor aside.

Next, take your replacement flow sensor and attach the wires to the corresponding Terminals on the sensor. Make sure the connections are secure to prevent any issues with the sensor later on. Once the wires are connected, place the new flow sensor in the same location as the old sensor and secure it with the screws.

After the new flow sensor is securely in place, it is important to test the water heater to ensure that the sensor is functioning properly. Turn the power back on to the water heater and run hot water through a faucet to test the flow sensor. If the water heater is operating as it should, you have successfully replaced the flow sensor in your Ecosmart 27 tankless water heater.
