Answer: Taking the element out is contingent on the type of cartridge and shower you own. Some cartridges require the removal of the slider latched onto the bottom of the cartridge housing. For other cartridges; spring, seals, and washers need to be removed before you can get to the wax thermostatic element. Question: Can I know if the capsule needs a replacement? Answer: You can test the Grohe 00798000 capsule element by dipping it in hot and cold water. If the pin does not move up and cannot be pushed down with ease, you need to replace the part. Question: Why is the shower not producing hot water? Answer: Issues from the supply pipes or from the valve unit components may lead to sluggish hot water flow from the bathtub or shower tap.

Reasons for a lack of hot water that does not originate from the supply lines or valve installation include a faulty Grohe 00798000 thermo-element. Question: What contributes to a faulty wax element?

Because of this, debris will build up on the pathway where hot water passes – gauzing and thermostat element. The develop
