1) Both upper and thermostats must be set the same
(usually 120 degrees) (do not set them at different
temps for any reason as this is the balancing device(s)
for temperature in the tank itself. before this make sure
bottom of tank is not full of sediment and flush as
necessary via the lower element when removed (first
shut off the electric power to the heater and keep it off
until the tank is full of water again and air is bled from it
via a faucet or the relief valve vent )... then inspect
condition of lower elelment (no resistance or very little
on an ohmeter if you have one available. I don't think it
is a non touching thermal disc because it was okay for
some time before the overheating problem began,
however it could be bad though... Bottom unit as a
whole is where i would start and probably find the
problem(s). Remember --- electric off when working on
this heater especially when you are draining it and
refilling untill entirely full of h2o and all air
removed(bled).
