How to Repair Thermostat of Geyser if the Water is not getting Heated Properly?

The electrician informed me that this issue is related to thermostats because the water won't heat up to your desired temperature if the thermostat is set lower.

• He had to get to the thermostat before adjusting it to the desired setting.

• To do this, he was required to first turn off the geyser's electricity supply before opening the protective covering.

• After this, he turned the thermostat's knob using a tiny screwdriver.

• Followed by verifying whether the water is currently heating up correctly.

• Finally, he had to adjust the thermostat to a higher setting, as the water was not getting heated up properly.

Last year, when I faced this issue I had to call for the electrician service once again.

Finally, he had to replace the thermostat in this instance.
