| Well the other day the water was scalding hot on my electric heater.So I replaced the upper and lower stats thinking that was the problem. But this morning it was still scalding hot So I replaced the upper and lower heating elements ( the lower one was bad) But now the water is still very hot I have it set on 130 upper and 140 lower if that helps,,,Anybody have any other Ideas? I'm leaveing tomorrow afternoon for Deer camp and I need to have this fixed before someone takes their skin off... |

| Set both at the same temperature. That may not help the perception of too hot. 140 is really very hot. |

| For residential application Code max is 120 and no appliance may require a higher temp unless it has its own heater. DW have a heater. |
