Water Heater Switch, Use the Installed or New Switch Provided w/ Water Heater
Question:
I replaced my Ge 16-EXT water heater with a GC10A-4E Heater can I use the existing switch that worked the GE 16 EXT unit
asked by: Robert J
Expert Reply:
If the ratings on each switch are comparable and the previously installed switch is in proper working condition then one may be able to successfully use the already installed switch, if they do not hold equivalent ratings please do not consider. The double panel switch # AT91230 is what I suggest using; I always prefer to use the components provided by the manufacturer. Either way, I do not see need to replace any wiring provided it is in working order.
