Same problem same model. I reset it, just to verify everything else was working. Upper thermostat was hot to the touch. OMW to home depot. Thanks for the video...
Very nicely explained, thanks

Perfect!!! You are amazing, thank you?
Same problem, 7 year old, the high limit switch kept popping out. The generic store brand (about $15 )upper thermostat did not work for me because a couple of the wires were too short. So I ordered the original equipment upper thermostat ($30). Now have the new upper in... same thing keeps happening. None of the how to repair videos I found mentioned the lower. You are saying replace both. Ugh
So I'm just curious, I have an electric 50-gallon AO Smith heater, I replaced both thermostats and both elements but even after that, the heater doesn't seem to be turning on, I also made sure that the breakers weren't tripping.
Mine has been inconsistent since new . Sometimes it barely has enough hot water other times it’s too hot to have on hot all the way .
UMF! Know that feeling!🤔🤣
Hot Water heater stopped working after I noticed that the temperature of the hot water had increased significantly
Replaced Upper thermostat. Temperature regulation doesn't work heats up to 154 degrees no matter how is set. Reset button tripped on hot water heater every night working several cycles of reheating then trips
I believe that the lower thermostat may be causing Upper to reset going to keep observing
I have this water heater in my apartment my hot water only works after being reset. I checked the bottom panel and it was rusty and I tried to lift the white coushin but it was stuck to the inside it looks burnt like it burned to the black plastic behind it and smells burnt and gave me a headache, im calling maintenance again today hope they fix it my apartment complex seems to always take the cheap ways out and it doesn't feel safe for me and my kids.
What was the outcome of your water heater?
Mine was doing what u said I called so smith they said it was the bottom element shorted and staying on most likely it was full of lime and shorted but not blowed actually making groungvto tank and staying on and it can shock u they were right cleaned out all the lime replaced both elements although top didnt need it working fine I too thought thermostat energy on ubtube said this could be it and it can shock u.
I got the same thermostat but one black wire doesn’t reach to where it was on the old thermostat, can I just pull the wire out a bit more to reach the connector? Or no?
Pigtail it. They don't usually have extra.
Thank you so much for this video. Totally fixed my issue. And thank you for being professional enough NOT to call the water heater a hot water heater. I closed several videos on this same problem due to the instructor calling it a hot water heater. I can't stand unprofessionalism.
LOL
These water heaters are garbage. On my second one un my new home, nothing but trouble
