Thermostat changes
From August 14 2007, the Robertshaw EWT series thermostats have been replaced by
the Robertshaw ST series thermostats. This change applies to all electric water heaters.
It should be noted that although ST series thermostat is a direct replacement for the EWT
series thermostat, the terminal connections and wiring arrangement is different. Therefore;
Whenever an EWT series thermostat is replaced with a ST series thermostat
as a spare part, each water heater will require rewiring at the thermostat.
Refer to wiring diagrams in this service instruction for wiring arrangements
utilising the new ST series thermostat.
