Whirpool 50 gallon gas water heater (N50t91-403) : 8 years old
Normal household psi: 50 psi
Water expansion tank: 2 gallon
1.) Couple weeks ago, noticed high psi 100+. I figured the thermal expansion tank failed, so I replaced it. Didn't solve issue. Plus, the original te tank looked good.
2.) The honeywell thermostat is new. Blinks normally. Although I have to turn the dial down to near vac setting otherwise water climbs above 120+ degrees.
3. Looking through the peep glass, I notice a low baby flame is on. Every time I randomly inspect, it's on.
4.) Cold water feels warm now.
5.) I do flush it annually, but still look gunky in there.
What could be the problem? Thanks.
