Hello I am having an issue with my water heater.
It is a dual element 40 gallon Rheem 3500 watt elements.
The issue is I have no hot water.
One problem I see is that I only get 120v to the top screws above the tstat. Or anywhere else for that matter. I don't know if this is the problem or if it has always been like this. I do get 240 volt at the circuit breakers (dual 20amp).
So I do have power (120 though) all the way to the top element (havent checked the bottom since I have no hot water at all)
Also I have 17 ohms resistence between the screws on the top element. Also tested both element screws to ground and didnt get anything at all.
Im not sure what could be the issue at this point?
