3. Accomplishment Instructions

A. General

WARNING: SERVICE PERSONNEL ARE TO OBEY STANDARD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS,

SUCH AS WEARING SAFETY GLASSES, TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY
WHILE INSTALLING OR DOING MAINTENANCE ON THIS UNIT.

B. Preparation

(1) Verification
(a) Check the Water Heater Serial Number Label on the front or back of the unit. If serial
number is T1067204001 or higher, the changes in this SB were implemented during
manufacturing and no further action is necessary.

NOTE: Units manufactured prior to 2016 may have a SN that does not begin with a "T".

(b) Check the back of the Water Heater for existing Modification Label. If the Modification
Label in paragraph 3.D.(2) has a date written next to it, then this SB has already been
implemented and no further action is necessary.

(c) Check the back of the Water Heater for Amendment (AMDT) on Serial Number Label. If
AMDT in paragraph 3.D.(1) is indicated, then this SB has already been implemented and
no further action is necessary.

(d) If the Water Heater Serial Number is less than or equal to T1067204000 and/or the
Modification Label does not have a date written next to Modification Label in paragraph
3.D.(2), and/or an AMDT less than in paragraph 3.D.(1) is indicated, then this SB needs
to be accomplished.

NOTE: Units manufactured prior to 2016 may have a SN that does not begin with a "T".

C. Procedure

(1) Disassembly
(a) Remove and disassemble the Water Heater as required per disassembly instructions in
the CMM (ref section 1.K.).

NOTE: When removing the flag terminal (P/N TE-50512) connector from thermostat
connector, pull in a linear direction away from the thermostat terminal. Avoid
twisting the terminal because it bends the retention tabs which can lead to
arcing.

(2) Assembly (Refer to Figure 4)

NOTE: At all six wire locations utilize the flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512) which is
TE Connectivity P/N 60419-2 which is shipped loose with the tab trimmed
off (Refer to Figure 2).

NOTE: Using the 60419-2 will ensure no “burr” on the edge of the terminal that could
interfere with the insertion process on to the thermostat tab (Refer to Figure 2).

NOTE: Reference the flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512) the central upset dimple a
locking feature to ensure proper engagement (Refer to Figure 3).

NOTE: It is recommended to modify one thermostat at a time to be sure the wires are
reconnected correctly.
(a) Remove the existing two wires from one of the thermostats.

1. Inspect the existing thermostat blade terminal for thermal discoloration or

burrs/discontinuity.

(b) If required, remove and replace one thermostat (P/N SW-50318).

(c) Locate and cut the existing flag terminal off the two wires removed in paragraph (2)(a).

(d) Remove 4.39 to 5.16 mm (0.173 to 0.203 in.) of the wire coating with a wire stripper.

(e) Inspect bare exposed wire for cut or damaged strands.

(f) Crimp new flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512), on the end of the wire with crimper tool
(P/N 900156) (Refer to Figure 1).

Crimped Flag Terminal

Figure 1

(g) Snap flag terminal housing (2) (P/N TE-50513), over flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512).
Be aware the hinges on the flag terminal housing (2) (P/N TE-50513) can crack after
repeated open/close cycles. Replace the flag terminal housing (2) (P/N TE-50513) when
required because hinges are cracked or broken.

(h) Push the flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512)/flag terminal housing (2) (P/N TE-50513)
connector onto the thermostat tabs. Perform pull test to make sure engagement on the
thermostat tabs. There should be significant retention force so that the flag terminal (1)
(P/N TE-50512)/flag terminal housing (2) (P/N TE-50513) does not fall off the thermostat
tab.

NOTE: This pull test is to make sure during insertion the thermostat blade is not
accidentally trapped between the flag terminal housing (2) (P/N TE-50513)
cover which will slide off easily during the pull test.

(i) There will be a slight amount of back and forth movement of the flag terminal (1) (P/N
TE-50512). Push the flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512) fully onto the thermostat tabs

after the pull test so that there is not a gap relative to the edge of the flag terminal (1)
(P/N TE-50512) and the thermostat base.

NOTE: The terminals will need to be replaced after 6 insertions because the locking
feature tab will be deformed.

NOTE: Flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512)/flag terminal housing (2) (P/N TE-50513)
connector easily sliding off the thermostat tab is an indication of incorrect
installation. If this occurs, reinstall flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512)/flag terminal
housing (2) (P/N TE-50513) connector and make certain the thermostat tab is
being inserted into the flag terminal (1) (P/N TE-50512). Then repeat the pull
test.

(j) Repeat the steps C.(2).(a) thru C.(2).(h) for the remaining thermostats.

(k) Install and assemble the Water Heater per assembly instruction in the CMM (ref section
1.K.).
