Please I need help!
I have a 6 gallon electric water heater that is going through elements. 1500 watt elements.
What can be the possible causes of the elements shorting out.
Loose neutral?
Please help

    q:?

    What is the amp draw on the element when you replace it? Does it agree with the Manufacture. Spec's? Lo voltage or hi voltage can shorten the life of the element.
