Having problems with my water heater heating my water too hot. I turned the thermastats all the way down to 110, but out of the tap it seems way hotter, cant keep your hands there long anyway! I dont quite understand how to diagnose an a/c electric circuit, but live in the middle of nowhere and was hoping for some help. Searched the archieves but cant seem to figure out what is wrong. I was thinking the thermastats where bad, but here an audible click when the upper and lower are turned up higher, and there is about a 220 volt drop across both heating elements. Stumped!!, any input would greatly be appreciated. I was gonna try a infared temp gun on both heat element areas to see if could condemn one of the thermastats that way, but unsure if it will be a accurate diagnosis. thanks jrw
