    I was looking at the question & answer section of water tank thermostats on Home Depot, Lowes and Amazon. I was amazed by the number of people that get this information wrong. There were 'pro', 'top reviewer' comments that stated with certainty that both 4500W elements came on at the same time for a 30 Amp breaker. Your explanation was clear and thorough and proves that you do not need fancy graphics to give a detailed presentation.

  • @HoverJunkie

    Great explanation. I always wondered how the H2O heater had 3500 & 4500W heating elements yet had 12 gauge internal wiring. I had always assumed both elements ran at the same time. I did not know it switched between them. Very cool, thank you very much.

    ou went above and beyond! The paper folded in three steps was fantastic, but bringing out the low voltage demo? That was the ultimate mic drop. I’m so impressed with this demo and hope it gains even more recognition over time because it was incredibly helpful for me. The only part I’m still a bit unclear on is how to properly test the element, but I’ll rewatch it when I’m not so tired. Great job!

    • @JustForYouDiy

    Most useful advise. You put my mind at ease after seeing the video. Didn't realize both elements are not working at the same time. Only getting around 240v at the top element and 0 at the bottom element. I tested and got around 13.3 ohms on the top and bottom elements. Going to recheck after an hour or 2 to make sure the bottom elements is powered up and working.

    Great video! I had checked out my mom-in-law's H2O heater, and figured out the bottom thermostat was bad, but wanted to make sure I was reading the situation right, i.e. The lower stat should be calling for heat once the upper was satisfied. Your video confirmed everything AND your drawings are awesome. Thanks!

    Please take my comments in the positive vein intended. You are an awesome and detailed instructor! Great discussion; great information; great diagrams; great mock-up. Great instructor yet I'd remove the word "Troubleshoot" from your title.
    The novice in electrical will not know what to test when even though the electrically educated will have all they need.
    Troubleshooting tips for the novice maybe should include step by step of what part to test when and with what equipment. Examples: 1. Water heater seems to "run out of hot water" too soon -- What is first to be checked? (Likely easy first step may be to disconnect wires from element and test resistance. 2. If both elements are good, what is next to test? 3. When is necessary to check the modules/thermostats? etc, etc.
    If this video, or a separate video, included similar steps as exampled above (of course, in appropriate detail), the video would be of greater value to a greater number of folks.
    Keep it up. Looking forward to more!

    That was great. I have watched so many videos about this and all of them piss me off and leave me more confused. This was on point. My only question is, what is that reset button used for? I have seen others speak about it and it has been said different for so many things. I wish someone on the internet had a clear and concise video on multi meter testing. I have watched so many, and they are awful. They don't give proper illustrations, slow down, or ramble and not give clear viewpoints on what they are testing or why and in what setting is it practical. All while videoing choppy video. It is really frustrating. This video and the intent from the start was on point, thank you.

      Thank you. Regards your question, the reset button is a safety device that shuts off power to your water heater when the water temperature inside it exceeds 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

      @@JustForYouDiy how is it used in a regular setting? Some vids seem to use it to reset your WH like it was some fluke to begin with.

      If everything is working correctly, it should not trip. Some of the conditions that will make it trip are:
      1. Faulty upper module
      2. Thermostats set too high
      3. Faulty thermostat

    • @bluev3nom

      Mine tripped for none of those reasons. Replaced them today
      Works great thankfully.
      Both had resistance on each element but both original elements seals were leaking. Decided to just replace them. I also lowered the thermostat. What are the usually supposed to be set at? Mine was about 140 top and roughly same bottom. I thought that was too high. I put it at 125 and I still feel its hotter than I'll ever use. Can you explain or show me how I would test the thermostats properly? The vids online are terrible.
