I live in eastern Oklahoma and our home is approximately 30 years old. When built, they installed the primary electric water heater as well as a 20 gallon electric water heater under the kitchen counter. The smaller heater supplies water to the kitchen sink, dishwasher and washing machine. It started leaking due to corrosion so I replaced it with a 20 gallon whirlpool heate purchased at Lowes. No problem, right! About 6 hours later the TP valve activated. Everything is hooked up correctly and the temperature is set right about 130 degrees. Any ideas? Like I said, its set up exactly like the one it replaced. Maybe the thermostat? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Greg
