Rheem solar hot water long roof sensor replacement

Page 1 of 1
I have a 5 years old Rheem Lo Line solar hot water. Solar stopped working due to broken cable at the joint of roof sensor. The sensor is about 150mm long. Black cable was actually inside the sensor.

I contacted Rheem helpline but they refused to sell parts to public. Does anyone know where I can purchase the replacement near Hoppers Crossing, VIC?

Perhaps pull off the sensor and take it to an electronics store (Jaycar for example). It's probably a standard thermocouple (pt1000 or similar) that you could wire back to the controller. If someone can identify it there is no need for an OEM part.

You might really enjoy these people.....parts, technical advice, installation vids......

Thank you. I will give it a try.

The website is based in Queensland. I try to find a store located in VIC.
The part will post to you easily. I like their video guides, most informative. We had a real good run with our Rheem solar installation. Replaced the ground based tank once and a couple of pressure-release valves on the roof collectors. Only replaced it when gas came to our area and we went with an instant gas system.
