Replacement of Hot water heater - CaptBrett - 04-09-2017

Another test is to reset the overtemp sensor located under the same cover... I've attached the manual for the heater.. Look at pages 4 & 5, especially page 4 step 8 on reseting the overtemp switch.
Following replacement of my hot water heater I tried to remove the cal-rod from the tank but was not successful. Believe the Aluminum tank corroded the threads... M2C
Thank you again.... so i have been told this water heater has a heating element ? Is that correct ?
I have water running thru it, flipped switch a number of times, to see if my volt gage would move, but nothing, so i guess its not getting power ? Thoughts ? This is a big help I appreciate your help

Yes.. The heating element is also called a cal-rod heater...Good idea WRT to turning on/off the circuit switch to see if the volt gauge moved.... A better test would be to use a multi-meter at the cal-rod (heating element) leads on the hot water heater itself to see if 110v is there. If it shows 110v then I agree the heating element (cal-rod) may need to be changed.. Make sure the red over-temp button hasn't tripped. Hard to tell just push it in the ensure its working correctly...
