Questions & Answers

I have a Rheem pl-d pump will this work The following are the M266A codes. ?

However, I have no idea what my model number is, but it seems to have worked

The resistance provided by this sensor is how many ohms?

When you unplug your old sensor and place a bowl of water at the base of the hot water heater, and place the wires into the bowl, the heater will kick on without giving you any more error codes. Water also has the same electrical resistance You must first find your heater owners manual to see what error code it is showing you if your heater's blue light flashes, I think the value was between 20 and 25 ohms. You will notice that if the sensor gets wet due to flooding in your basement it shorts out because the little part inside rusts and corrodes in minutes, making it make a large resistance, making the sensor unusable.

What model of Rheem Intellivent does this part fit?

As soon as I tried 2 to 25 ohms, I had to take a chance,

Does it fit in a Rheem gas water heater model xg50t12dm40u0w with serial number m271624301?

The solution works!

Does it work, but how long will it last? It was a direct replacement and was a success for a while

4/5

The bad news is that this is the second sensor I have replaced in about two years of These sensors work using an innovative and complex principle and are prone to failure (you don't want to miss this On Amazon, they have them for sale). If you are unafraid of checking the gas valve for error codes before every shower, they never give any warning (unless they are used to being checked). It is therefore advisable to have a spare with you at all times.

This item works with Whirlpool The sensor was replaced by one that intermittently functioned and consistently produced ohm readings well outside the expected range

5/5

A 25VS was attached to it as well. The sensor has been installed for about a week, and I have not experienced any issues with it, which is longer than I was able to In the event that any are discovered, I will update this post.

Sensor in water heater had to be replaced, causing it to lock out. I am happy with how it worked! Quite a bit of money was saved by doing that.

The program did what it was advertised to do

5/5

Prior to installing the unit, I tested it with a multimeter. During the test, the unit went through a 20K Ohm resistance This is within the normal range (5k - Ohms). This will reduce sensitivity to 45k. Using this in a Whirlpool water heater that has an Emerson electronic ignition and regulator, I achieved the best results. Once the FV- has been reset Although the heater detected an error, it worked as it should.
