Depending upon the water heater model, there may be a little switch in the outside compartment that turns on/off the AC element. The switch inside may only be for gas operation. That’s how ours is.
From what I found online, they use 12A on electric which is exactly what you said you have unexplained.
Search Google images for “suburban water heater outside switch”.
You're a genius! Went outside and found the heater compartment. This looks to be likely what was happening.
Thank you! And everyone!
And just to confirm - this switch should only control the water heater, but nothing else like the refrigerator?
