    Water Heater overheating and tripping breaker?

    That's what I figured when I got into the process of switching them out. I was surprised that the temperature reading was that elementary, not a big deal, I just thought it would have been in the tank itself. Thanks again for the suggestions and help.

    Water Heater overheating and tripping breaker?

    Delta Set Screw

    Thanks - soaking it now. I took a paper towel and soaked it in vinegar and have it sitting on top of the screw. If it cant come out I don't see how you could access the small hole to drill it out. Where does Delta stand on something like this? I understand the washer going bad but the...
