The T-stats are under the 'Push to Reset' Cover above gas valve
Left side is 120VAC for electric and Right side is 12VDC for propane
T-stats Open at 130*F/Close at 100*F for heat cycle
High limit t-stat trips at 170*F..manual reset via push button

Check if shower H/C Knobs have been left ON and button on lever has been used to stop shower flow
Shower faucet then acts like a 'mixing chamber' diluting Hot temps
If not shower then could be one of the Dip Tubes has broken off inside the WH Tank
Cold one point DOWN and Hot one points UP
Either missing and cold quickly mixes with hot diluting the temp
Drain/remove anode rod and use bright flash light to see in a plastic tube is laying in bottom of WH Tank
Remove element to retrieve
Replacement Dip Tubes are available
