[C320-list] water heater

[Don Dixon]

Remove the access panel on the front of the heater.  Under the panel is a red reset button for the high temp limit breaker.  Push to reset.

In my case, this did not work...needed to replace the heating element.  You can order an element specific for this unit or just buy a 1000 (or was it 1200?) watt unit at Home Depot for $9.95.

Filled all the water tanks, turned on the water heater (elec part) and waited for my hot water; it didn't come. After some mental trouble shooting, I remembered that I by-passed the water heater for winterization and I hadn't reconnected it.  So the heating element in the heater was heating air-not water. I don't think it liked heating air because once I plumbed the heater back in and it filled with water, still no hot water.
