Default Electric water heater problem?????

Most electric hot water heaters are 220, are both 110 legs providing
power? I have seen it where one 110 leg trips and the other is still
hot. You could try jumping the thermostat and see if you have hot
water. If you do, then it is a thermostat issue, if not it is power.
How is the continuity of the heater elements?


komobu,

I have 220 volts at the thermostat and at the upper element so I assume 1/2
the breaker is not tripped. I will try jumping the thermostat.

Thanks,
