Hello and again I will say thanks in advance to any and all that can provide assistance. Removed an American Standard bowl, back of tank was dead 12 inches from the back of tank to the center of bolts. Pipes are firm in the ground and did not move while removal took place. Installed...

HJ, replaced what was broken As is the case with most of the posts I do here, I tend to inherit the problems after a staff member has screwed-up. After some questioning of the individuals involved I was able to learn that the power was turned after the tank had begun to be filled. I did...

GE Water heater Being as the top access panel is where I had the spark, can I assume the top element and thermostat are the only things that need to be replaced?

A GE water heater( 30 gallon) manufactured by Rheem was installed. It was powered "on" before it was fully filled. It made hot water the first day, the second day I had to press "reset" button. today, third day still no hot water, pressed "reset" button and the thing blew the breaker...

Response to codeone Codeone, From the breaker the service goes directly to a fixture. and then to the second fixture ( which is about two feet away). There was an existing sensor which controlled both fixtures. Everything worked fine ; the previous sensor was smashed and needed to be...

Thank you for the reply. You said "The feed is the 120V power. it goes to the black wire of the photo cell (which you refer to as the switch) The red wire goes to the black wire(s) going to the fixtures. It sounds like you have the black power hooked to one of the black fixture wires...
