Did a service call on a water heater today. ( 4500 W upper, 4500 W lower, 4500 W total, so double-throw t-stat on top) Elements tested out ok so we replaced t-stats, top and bottom.
Worked out fine, however: Could not properly test out t-stats. Even at lowest setting, did not appear to be "off" i.e. still continuity. Do I need to set them on a hot water bottle or something ?
Are there any WH mavens who can clue me in ?
Thanks !
