water heater repair question?
Feb 21, 2010 by Bruce | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have repaired the water heater before but can't reminisce over. If I have no hot water is the top or bottom element out? then obviously if the other is out I won.t have as much hot water. How can I test the element with a tester to make sure. Thanks
If you have no hot water the top element is out. If you run out of hot water speedily the bottom element is out. Elements are not expensive so replace both so you don't have to repair it again,

Sicken the power off and with an ohm meter, ohm out the t-stat and both elements. The part that shows no contiuity is bad. Don't take a chance and burn out an ohm meter with the power on. The salutary side of this is that you will find the correct breaker

A Flawed Hot Water Heater. It is NOT Unusual to get one or even five in a row. Your Husband should Not work on it,nor should You be Replacing anything on it or especially in it. That Heater Has a Warranty. Did you Buy it with a Charge Card like VISA?
