Hi:
My mom (in her 80's) called me yesterday from Arizona about her 15 year old Rheem hot water heater. It seems that she had to turn it off because even on the lowest setting (vacation setting), the heater is heating up the water way to hot. So, I guess, the burner is staying on all the time. What's the problem? Thermocouple? I'm going to see her early next week, so I'd like to fix the problem when I'm there. Yah, I know she needs a new heater, but I need to patch up the old temporarily for a family gathering at her house. Thanks for any suggestions. Marty 1
