Question: is the water REALLY HOT, like 180 degrees hot?
Take a cooking thermometer which can be interperted up to around 220 Degrees F.. Stick it in a pan of boiling water and note where the needle stops.. That should be around 205-215 depending on if you are high up or low down (Barometric pressure) and the purity of the water
Now measure the water out.. If it's over 160, you have a bad low temp sensor (The primary temp sensor) or a bad control board and the unit is going into HIGH TEMP SHUTDOWN.
Now.. I know where the high temp sensor is.. on the outside, with the RED wire hooked to it.. I think the regular (120 degree) sensor is next to it.. but the key words in this paragraph are I THINK.
And, of course.. As Leonard Nimoy used to say on the show "In Search Of" This is one possible answer, not the only possible answer and it may not be the correct answer or something like that.
So listen to what others say too.
I recall last spring.. I tuned the water heater on and it went direct to FAULT.
Yup, I had FOLLOWED directions when winterizing and removed the aforementioned RED WIRE from the sensor
