Heater White
Bradford white electric water heater circuit trips?
I have a Bradford white electric water heater that keeps tripping its built in circuit(Not the main breaker at the electric panel for the whole house). I can get an electric reading on the top heating element that has the circuit switch, but no reading on the lower heating element wires. I am planning on replacing the lower heating element, should this resolve my issue or is there something I am missing?
All domestic double element water heaters use a non-simultaneous upper thermostat, to control the system. The top element heats first, once it’s heated the top half of the tank, the thermostat shunts the electric down to the lower thermostat which then activates that element and heats the lower half of the tanks contents. If the red reset hi-limit is popping in the upper thermo repeatedly, it could be a faulty thermostat or it could be elements that are enough past their prime to work the system too hard. If you can read a volt/ohmmeter, remove one wire from one screw on each element, then touch both screw heads on each element with the tester in the ohm’s position to read resistance, (having shut off the electricity beforehand of course), and you should have a reading of 12.3 to 12.7 on a standard 3500/4500 watt element. Anything higher or lower should be replaced. If you find a bad one and replace it that may solve the problem, or you may also wind up having to replace the upper thermo as well. Sometimes once they’ve popped several times they get weak and continue on doing the same thing.
