yes on water,yes on power,yes on generator, I don't know what a by-pass kit
looks like, how hard is it to get a water heater out to check the other
things you ask.

>
> 3. Have you tried with generator power ?

That would be 12.5 Amps, NOT 12.5 Ohms, giving 9.6 Ohms for the resistance.

Mac,

Oops!

Naturally you're correct, don't know how I screwed that one up, sorry!

William , here us a link to the maintenance manual, there are complete instructions on checking and removal of the water heater. Look in section 24

I suspect the problem is in the heater components but you might want to have someone familiar with household wiring confirm that there is power at
both sides of the the on/off switch when it is in the on position. If not, the problem could be the on/off switch or circuit breaker.
