Save yourself the hassle, and replace both thermostats while you're at it.

replace the thermostat yourself for about $20 probably

take safety precautions so you don't electrocute yourself

I have a hot water heater that uses a small screw to set the temperature
of
the water. I have the unit set at about 120-135 degrees, but the water
coming from the unit is more than 150. Also the breaker on the water
heater
itself is kicking off each day and I have to reset it to get hot water.
Any
ideas of why this is happening? What should I do?
