Default electric water heater question

I did disconnect and replace the two breakers, but indeed, they were
two 120v, 30A breakers. So hooked up individually (though I did
realize I have them reversed; haven't switched them back as they're
both to the same appliance). See my other reply in this thread that I
posted about :10 ago, where I included more specifics if you'd like to
read more on this odyssey


Have what reversed???

I read the other response; my conclusion is you've got a mucked
installation and you have no hope of solving the problem on your own.

If the previous post about having two leads w/ 120V to ground from each
but 0V between is indeed correct you _STILL_ have the two connected to
the same phase somehow/somewhere; there's simply no other way to do that.

I'm outta' here--this is futile; you need onsite expert help before you
make a big mistake.
