Relief valve opened on my hot water heater. The water was very hot from the tap, so I turned the unit off and ran enough water through it to get cold water into it. I checked the valve to make sure it was working properly, and then tried to turn the unit back on, however it would not turn on. I reset the breaker on the thermostat and it came back on.
So it seems to me I have a runaway thermostat.
This is just a point of use Ariston 4 gallon water heater, just want to be sure before I go pick up a thermostat, because I suppose it could also be the element.
Thanks!
(Also it's just a small point of use unit so it's off until I get it fixed)
