Checked and both elements have continuity both are working to hear them. I drained the tank outside and didn't notice a hardly any sediment. Come to think of it I knocked all the crap out only about a year ago. Anyways refilled the thing and it seemed to work.
This seemed odd to me though. Bottom element kicked on and ran about 2 minutes. Then it went off and on came the upper element and that was the way it was when I left, heating away. Of course tennant calls me back last night saying there isn't any hot water so back I have to go today. When I talked to her on the phone I had her set its temp to Max which "in theory" should give her a bit more hot water as well as shut her up for a day or 2. I never noticed any serious sulfur or rotten egg smell at any time either like she says. Being a Hud Queen and not having both her oars in the water part of the time I take a lot of what she says so things can be hard to diagnose.
Anyways , does it look like it needs a new thermostat to you guys?????
