Replacement of Hot water heater

[CaptBrett]

Before I change the cal rod I would ensure you have 110v at the hot water heater itself.....Need to remove the cover where the electric wires go into. 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...
