To reset an electric water heater, first turn off the electrical circuit breaker to prevent electrocution. Remove the upper metal access panel and peel back the insulation blanket. Firmly press the red reset button located above the upper thermostat until you feel or hear a click. Replace the insulation cover and access panel, then turn the circuit breaker back on. Callout type="warning" title="Electrical Safety Warning": Never touch exposed electrical terminals inside the control housing while power is active. Verification: Wait 30 minutes and test hot water temperature at a nearby tap.
