The water heater in my rental home started acting up after the last renters moved out. The upper thermostat kept tripping. I have had the tank drained, both elements replaced. I replaced the upper thermostat last weekend when I was down there. Before I left, I verified that the thermostat was switvhing between the upper and lower elements. I also measured the current each element was drawing when they were operating. 16 amps on the upper and 16 on the lower. Now the upper stat is tripping again. Voltage is good thru the stat on both elements. I'm stumped! Is there any other trouble shooting excercises I can try? Thanks
