Water Heaters (Calefones)

Calefont doesn't throw me hot water.

Good afternoon, someone could help me with the next issue since it is the first time that happens to me and I don't know where to start to solve the problem. I have an ORBIS hot water tank, it is on a pilot but when I turn on the hot water tap (in the kitchen, bathroom and shower) it does not activate and the water does not heat up, which is cold. Thank you!!

Hi Nahuel In the heading you put "calefont" and in the development you put hot water tank ORBIS ... they are two different things. CALEFON: The reasons can be several, among others; that the diaphragm is punctured, that the venturi is covered (a piece from which two small pipes come to the diaphragm) and if there is little flow, the inlet filter to the dirty or covered heater. THERMOTANK: Control the temperature thermostat that rotates at a chosen or maximum temperature. If it doesn't turn on in spite of that, you probably have to change the control. Regards

The water comes out normal with the same intensity as always, the problem is that the calefont is not activated to heat the water. The problem would be the diaphragm, right? If so, where do I get the replacement?

In any hardware store or bouquet houses, but it would be convenient to take the sample.

Hi. You should clarify if it is a heater or a thermo tank. If it is a heater it is possibly a problem of the diaphragm rubber and if it is thermo not necessarily every time you open the water it will turn on. Comment Regards

I am not familiar with the subject that is why the error in naming. I do not know what is the part that is failing, the shy flame turns on, what does not turn on are the others when opening any hot water tap. I don't know if I explain myself, but I would like to know where the fault would be if in the rubber band of the diaphragm or the failure could come from elsewhere. Thank you!!

The first fault is usually the diaphragm rubber. It replaces without problems. If you upload a photo of the device without the cover we can tell you where to act.

Now take out and check the diaphragm rubber and it is intact so the problem comes from somewhere else. Now I will try to upload photos

Hi NahuelEnriq, as colleagues tell you, it is very likely that it is the gum of the diaphragm but eye, that it does not have holes visually or this fissure does not mean that it is well considered that if it has more than 8 months you should change it if or if .. why with use and time they expand too much and do not do well if I work and that means less gas flow and therefore less flame ..
