Well I can now add electric hot water repairman to my repertoire. Mine was malfunctioning the last couple of weeks, over heating and tripping the breaker on the thermastat. Figured I better get to the bottom of that before I burned the house down.
I removed both upper and lower elements and replaced them with a couple of ULDW elements even though they tested ok. Vacuumed the sediment from the bottom of the tank and WA LA I have hot water again that's not 200+ *!.
Now if I don't get a cold shower in the morning , I can claim success .

Nice, Chuck that you got it fixed, but what is a ULDW?

Hate to say it Chuck, but if the water was getting too hot, it's probably the thermostat!

Thermastats are the same and it is now heating properly. If the problem reoccurs, replacing them will be next.
