Thank you so much!!!!!!! As a single woman who has a tricky landlord situation right now, this just empowered me to crawl under my house (yikes), reset the water heater (I heard the click immediately!), and now I have hot water!!!! I feel so proud that I fixed this myself and didn’t have to rely on a handyman or call my landlord. ❤🎉

This has performed exactly as desired kzitem.infoUgkx8G49mV71sAzUl9shXyLW-r3XgHH9EVh1 . Basically, instant hot water instead of waiting up to two minutes as it was before. I have had this installed almost exactly one year now and just replaced the anode which is pictured. I pulled it out at six months and cleaned the heating element and removed debris. I would recommend a cleaning every six months and an anode replacement yearly. A mild citric acid and water solution soak really helps clean the heating element and tank. It must be fully disassembled to do the cleaning and that is not difficult but could have been made easier with a couple of design changes but no big deal.

Hi, hope you got a minute to read this please Just wanted to know why the reset button on that water heater is so different to mine? I have a Thermann 250thmb136 Manufactured 2016 it has 258 storage capacity and 250L hot water delivery Thought I also mention that I'm in (Australia 🇦🇺) I dont have a bloody clue about this so excuse me if it's too much or not enough info. I'm not a happy camper at the moment I got no hot water it's freezing down here in Oz So watched your video and seen the red reset button and spun out. Mine has a tiny little hole ( meaning I had to use a bloody toothpick mate to push it in ) I hope it works or I'm looking at 1800 for a new one 😭 & can't afford it. When u get a moment could you please let me know if that's normal size for that brand. Thanks mate I appreciate it

@Eddie Helps Homeowners.....My bottom element was bad,so I replaced both elements and thermostats.....My electric water heater never tripped my circuit breaker nor have I ever changed the temperature in the 2yrs I've been living here.Why all of a sudden it's doing the samething after replacing the elements and thermostats?

My hot water heater is acting strange. Every few days it will get so hot that reset button pops. So I turn off the breaker and let it cool then turn it back on again and press the reset button. It's as if the thermostat once in a while gets stuck in the closed position when it shouldn't. It's set at 120 degrees. I always thought the thermostat either worked well or not at all, but never sometimes. Am I wrong?

@nikkilovetheyardsale-again2608

Absolutely do that. Fist tho your hot water heater is ALWAYS going to be on either 30 amp breaker or 4p amp breaker depending on the voltage of your tank. For instance mine is 2500 watts so it's on a 3p amp breaker. If yours il above thet it's most likely on a 40 amp. Either way, there are only 2 or 3 MAYBE 4 of these super high amp breakers in anyone box. So, what I did was I shut one off. Came and took a reading on the top thermostat. If it's 240 you didn't find the right one. It won't read anything when you find the correct breakers. Only 2 or 3 more times I'm positive you'll find it. You can judt have someone else stay at the hot water heater and tell you when the volts fall. Or you can set your multimeter to the sound option has a don't eith sound waves and is only a tiny little sliver of your multimeter. Usually, towards the bottom of the circle of different ratings. Hope this helps. Mine had none labeled when I moved in and now I have ALMOST all of them labeled and numbered to the rooms. 😊

Did you solve the problem? You usually need to turn up the water temperature so the new thermostats and resistors kick on. The. Turn it back down to 120F.

What if there's no click when I press the button? Am I supposed to hear the heater come on after I press the reset button? I felt no click, and I hear nothing happening. But since it's an electric, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to hear something as we did on our gas ones before we moved into this place. I can't seem to find the answers I need in this regard anywhere, and this is a very bad time for it to go out. :(

Breaker started tripping, so I had an electrician run tests on the water heater. After running the tests on the upper/lower elements and thermostats, only the lower thermostat showed as failed. I replaced it, but the breaker tripped again after about 6 minutes. While the tank was still drained, I replaced the lower element, even though the one in the tank looked and tested good, and also replaced the anode rod. Filled up the tank and the breaker tripped again after 5-6 minutes. Shall I just go ahead and replace the upper thermostat and element, or could there be a problem someplace else?

@gandl2123

I have a hot water heater electrical. I'm assuming that if I have 220v at the elements that there is power going to elements and should have hot water. Correct? I can tell the power is going through the element as I have the left wire on the left screw of an element and I remove the right wire. Test, power at left screw / wire and the screw on the right is hot when wire is off showing that the power is going through the element. Why then do I still have no hot water? Can current flow through the elements and not heat the water? ie..bad element? Or is the continuity always broken on a bad element? Also....if I turn the water temp to lowest setting and that setting is below the current water temp...does that shut power off to the elements where I won't detect power at the element, then when thermostat is turned up to a higher water temp position, I should hear a click, and that is power being sent to elements? Corect?

You could have loosened the dip tube while moving it around, meaning the water coming in is only being heated by the top element, so you will have some hot water but then it will go cold.
