| No more ~5kW instantaneous jumps means the water heater is finally running correctly |
So, my water heater woes appear to have finally ceased. Last Friday, the GE repair guys (thanks Jeremy!) showed up and dismantled my Geospring to remove and recharge the refrigerant. A new error code had appeared (F1) when I opened up the crawl space before their arrival.
From what Jeremy (GE repair tech) explained, there was a chance that the amount of refrigerant was either too much or too little in my unit when they had repaired it last. Of course, it could also mean that there is a refrigerant leak within the compressor which CANNOT be fixed. Only time will tell on that one which means I'll be watching this system closely. But it's nice to see the system working correctly now. Per the pic above from our usual AM shower activities, notice how there isn't a large jump in the power usage to indicate the electric elements turning on. For reference, below is an older pic showing the large jumps.
