Can someone help me understand how to set my water heater?
This water heater is greek to me, I am used to setting the temperature... but this water heater doesn't have a temperature knob.. it has a timer, like those timers you use to make your lights turn on and off while your gone on vacation..

Are the coils not what I am removing?

Any idea why my water heater quit heating my water?
It's a 40 gallon G.E. electric water heater. I had to shut my water off for a couple of days because of a leak. I drained the water heater to use the water to flush my toilet while it was shut off. Before draining it I shut the power off to the water heater. I allowed it to refill before turning the power back on. Before my water leak it was working but when I turned it back on it didn't. So I bought new heating elements and thermostats and replaced them. It still didn't work. I used a multi meter to test the electricity. I tested the voltage to every wire. The top and bottom thermostat wires and the top and bottom heating elements all read 121 volts. During testing I tried using couple of different ground locations, the ground wire on the water heater and the water heater itself. They all read 121 volts regardless of ground location. I tested the heating elements again using the nut on them for a ground, still 121 volts. Finally I tested the continuity of the heating elements, no problem there. I turned the temperture setting on the thermostats all the way up. And I checked the reset button. I don't know of anything else left to check or test. Besides replacing it does anyone have any suggestions?

I turned its water intake off and it stopped, but it restarts doing it as soon as I turn the water intake back on.Model is Kenmore Power Miser 5.Thanks in advance for any ideas. I'd like to know if this is something I or a professional can fix or do I need to replace the whole thing?I am covered under the Appliance Service Plan offered by my utilities company. They just came over, looked at it and said that it needs to be replaced. Never even touched it seems strange.
