Water heater help
Hey guys.
On a recent trip the electric side of our water heater conked out on us. I assumed the element gave up, so I ordered and installed a new one. To no avail.
So I dug deeper. This ismamsuburban sw6de
1 - yes, I checked the breaker.
2 - no voltage at the electric element
3 - I did have voltage at the line to the water heater as checked at one of keystone push connectors near the WH.
4 - I checked the switch for continuity and it checked out...
Only thing I'm not sure on is the thermal overload buttons. I pushed them - pretty firmly - and had no indication that one was popped or reset.
12v (gas) works perfectly
Your thoughts? I admit I'm a couple credits shy of my electricians license...but I think I checked everything correctly.
