and damage will occur if attempts are made to

remove and re-use the old one.

Step I - Remove Bezel (some
models)

Some models (GEH50DEEDSR*,
GEH50DEEDSC* and BEH50DCEHSB*/

RE2H50R10-1NCWW) have a visible screw at the
bottom of the control which allows removal of

control housing. All other models have a bezel

which must be removed to access the screw

securing the control housing to the water heater.

• To remove the bezel pull the right side to the
right and outwards to release the mounting

tabs.

Control Trim has changed design on some models
(GEH50DEEDSR*, GEH50DEEDSC* and
BEH50DCEHSB*/RE2H50R10-1 NCWW). New
control, overlay and trim must be used.

back of the overlay. Use care not to touch the
LED window to prevent finger prints and

sticking to the adhesive.

Place the overlay against the right side lip of

the control housing

Use the RJ45 and top / bottom lips to finish
proper orientation of the overlay.

Install the new control bezel. The control trim is
held in place with 10 tabs. (3 each side, 2 on

top and bottom). The trim does have a top and

bottom. When reinstalling the trim, if reversed,

the tabs will not align. It is helpful to squeeze
the sides of the trim slightly to guide the side

tabs in place.

Firmly press the overlay working from center

out to the edges.

Step 3 - Install the New Control

• Install the control board assembly.

• Connect all wiring.

• Re-mount the control assembly to the water
heater.

Re-install mounting screw at bottom of the

control.

Remove the protective film from the outside of

the overlay.

Turn the power ON.

Step 4 - Set Personality ID

• The new control will blink "ooo" at the top of the
display and beep 3 times.

• Use the arrow keys on the user interface to
scroll to the selected personality ID.
