Could be the heating eliment..
A way to check it ---
remove the exaust hose..
Put a mirror to the exaust hole trying to see inside to the eliment(s)..
When running - the eliment should glow hot..
If its not - it migt need to be replaced..
You are correct. That is the way most of the two eliment water heaters work, one eliment at a time. Make sure that the two thermostarts are set at the same value. Have you tried just making the water hotter, so that the hot water will not be used at such a fast rate, when mixed with the cold? Also draining the sediment from the bottom of the tank with increase the water capacity,of course.
Hello, You can try re-terminating the connector with a crimp on style connector. Just make sure the wire going to the element is in good shape. If the calrod heater element has shorted out it may burn the at the connection again. If not, you have fixed it! Good luck...gary
Disconnect the electric for the unit. Disconnect the two wires from the two eliments. Place a battery type test light or Ohm meter is more conclusive if you have one, Light should light when placing the two test leads to the two eliment contacts(while they are disconnect for the water heater wiring) should be dim but glowing. If no light the the eliment is open. If an Ohm meter the Wattage is written on the heater the heater. E=IR P=IE. It should work out to about 1200 -1400 ohms if 220 volt heater. If the light is bright just as if you had put the two test leads together,then you can say that the eliment is likely shorted. Either no light or a Very bright light requires the eliment to be changed.
To check the thermostats, Raise the ajustment one one at a time, until it clicks. Listen for the heater to be heating. Turn that one back down and do the other one the same way. I hope I have been clear enough. About one gallon of water should be drained for the bottom of the tank once a year along with checking the preasure/tempature safety relief valve by operating it ,using the leaver,for a few moments as preventive maintenance.
