Water heater hi limit reset switch - broken?
After a year and half of ownership and no electric water heater, I finally decided to troubleshoot. I was hoping I could get some advice, as I've been unable to find an answer searching the forum.
It turns out my hi limit reset switch (see photo for referenced switch) is permanently tripped. If I hold the reset switch down, I get power to the heating element. As soon as I let go of the reset switch, no power.
Would this indicate that the thermostat assembly, which appears to be connected by a single nut, simply needs replacing? Or could something more sinister be going on?
