Is it just that simple Push the reset button and no more problems?
My electric water heater is not heating the water It started making loud popping noises and the water was extremely hot I also notice the water getting cold very quickly the night after and the lights dimming and flicker for a moment after I got out of the the shower and now today no hot water ,Some I'm trouble shooting on the internet and the manual I dug up so my best guess is the high temperature shut off ,but I don't want to do that without knowing why it shut off ,I would hate to reset it and a week later the house is on fire so I was wondering what are some reasons that would cause it to shut off is it one of those things that just happens from time to time is it safe to just reset and forget about or should I be worried about under laying causes Hope I'm making sense

To me this is sounds electric powered & with the aid of pushing the reset button & with no longer some thing happening, means that some thing isn't properly someplace. many times come throughout the time of consumers consistently pushing the reset button on their kinfolk water pump contained in the wish that it will start up & bypass, extremely than calling the right trades individual who will recognize from an inspection the position the fault lies.with the aid of always pushing some thing else button you are able to make the priority a lot worse & causing you extra rate, at the same time as in case you had contacted the right individual initially it would want to have kept you a good rate.

Resetting the pushbutton switch won't override it, it will just reset it. When the same situation arises, it will trip again. Sounds as though the thermostat is defective and defaulting to wide open -- it's pumping 220 volts through it 24/7. If you own the home, you might want to get a new water heater -- elec are expensive to operate, and newer models are somewhat more efficient. If you're renting the property owner must pay to have it fixed -- probably will have new thermostat installed.
