How to Adjust Electric Hot Water Heater Temperature

[FriendlyFace]

This video was excellent ‼️‼️I am a woman, and my Landlord just put in a new water heater for me. The water was so cold and this video gave me confidence that I could do it myself and I did.

Great video, someone that actually provides all steps. Other videos everyone just directs right to changing the temp and not showing where and how to turn it off before adjusting. Thanks man. Never did this, water is warm want it to be hotter. Ill try this. You the man ! Perfect video, step by step !

Straight to the point I love it. Well done man I followed your video as I was doing it and things worked perfectly! I appreciate you!!

Thanks! I usually deal with gas hot water heaters. Just got to a rental cabin and warm water doesn’t last for one person’s shower. I’m sure, being a rental they set it at low settings to save money. Well I’m paying plenty to deserve a hot shower. Good thing I’m handy 😉

Will set it back b4 leaving and no one will ever know 🤫 well except you guys 😆

Thank you! I found this video very helpful. Mine had two thermostats so I set them both to the same temp and now my water actually gets hot thanks again 🙏

I watched this video. It helped me on my water heater. It was the top panel not the bottom panel but I did it. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for the video. I just moved into a new apartment. The hot water temperature has been meh...

Thank you so much. My plumber would not place the temp to 130 he said 120 was fine. 🤬. Thank you again.

Thanks for your times and have a nice day!! you are the best...

Thanks for this. I have 2 elements so I also have 2 adjustments.

Make sure to double check, nearly all electric water heaters have two elements and two controls(in this video one control was adjusted. However, most heaters have two controls and both need to be set the to the same temp).

Thanks so very much. The landlord put in a new hwh and the temps were on maximum.
I couldn't see temperature numbers anywhere so I turned them down to around about where I think 120 degrees is should be.

Both coils should be adjusted, at least in the ones I've seen

are you sure you have just one thermostat? check second panel on the top

[Moonbunny]

Easy peasy! Thank you! I am in an apartment and it was set at 160. It was so hot that it couldn’t even be used. 🔥

I have two panels and I could only discern that only one panel had a temperature control.

The One that I adjusted was on the top panel. If there is another one on the second panel, it doesn’t look the same and I couldn’t see it. Is there supposed to be two temperature gauges if you have two panels?

2:56 With that said do you have a filter on your water system or you don't drink tap 🤔

Just curious, if all I am doing is move a temperature dial, why do I need to shut off the power?
