hi..i'm in the process of remodeling my trailer and when i pulled out the water heater to replace the floor...the next day it didnt work...so i replaced the heating element,thermostat and popoff valve...my friend told me to periodically check the voltage going to the element to see if its kicking off when it reaches temp....i have been doing this for a few days and there is always 120volts going to the element...how do i know that the thermostat is working ? is it supposed to kick off? is there a troubleshooting technique for this?...i have tried putting the temp on 130 then after a couple hours turn it down to 120 with the volt meter on it....still it doesnt kick off
i've been lurking on these forums for awhile before i started my remodel...definetly enjoyed seeing all the pics of everyones remodels.....i am taking alot of pics and video of mine and will be posting them up for ya'll to see
