Hi everyone. I hope someone can helo me with this as I am baffled beyond imagination here. I have an electric hot water heater that burned out the bottom element. I opted to replace both elements and thermostats since this was an in-expensive investment.
So replaced both upper and lower elements, upper and lower thermostats..and still no hot water.
one thing I did do is buy another set of elements and when I removed the first set, I noticed that only the edges were getting hot and not the entire element..could it be the I need to adjust the thermostat to a higher temp?
Also, I checked all electrical wiring and I have voltage everywhere its suppse to be.. Also did a resistance test on all 4 elements, first set and second, and all pass with flying colors..
So I am confused and not sure where to look next...
This is a 240 volt system and both leads are hot..checked and verified.
