Safety first
, Before you begin, make sure you turn off the power to the water heater at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supplyβ and don't forget to remember the one of the most important components of your water heater is its anode rod, An anode rod-free water heater is a water heater that will not last long. Well good luck on replacing the heating element on your water heater

Hey! π Just did that job last month. First, kill the power and shut off the water. Use a wrench to swap the old element, wrap threads with Teflon tape on the new one. Fill the tank, then turn the power back on. Watch for leaks. Easy peasy! Good luck! πComment
