My hot water heater died after working for 2 days in Iowa, at International.
1. Testing the element with a meter, it reads closed circuit. This leads me to believe that the element did not burn out.
2. Testing the thermostat with a meter, (air temperature conditions) it reads a closed circuit, not open. At air temperature, this is what I expect.
3. Testing the high temperature regulator, it reads complete circuit, again at room temperature.
Since both the thermostat and the temperature regulator are each about $30, I would like some opinion without just throwing money at the problem.
Related, when the high temperature regulator fails, does it die? Or, restore to it normal status?
Plenty of 110 to the heater, not a failure of the breaker.
