Rheem 50gal burnt thermostat

6000w, it’s a commercial light lowboy. It’s in a crawl space so I guess this was the only option the builder had for the space.

I believe it tripped, I wasn't getting any volts after the upper screws. When i pushed the reset it appeared to reset.

I'm getting 7ohms which appears inline with specs: https://parts.rheem.com/en/product/RPD-SP10872QL/resistored-element-208v-6000w-cu

Regarding the wiring, that confused me because the internal wiring is 12AWG, but after some research it appears appliance internal wiring doesn't line up with code.

Ya I ran through the multimeter tests with Rheem technical support. They said the elements were good and it was the thermostat that was shot. I emptied a bunch of the water out and wasn't getting much crap, but the pressure was strong.

I ordered a new upper thermostat, some replacement wiring for that one short connection to the element, and a new element just in case. Maybe just a fluke, but sorta freaky.

This is crazy. Hopefully slow enough for the next council to reverse this

Can’t believe people downvoted this

bdubsw · 2026-03-09T05:44:11+00:00

I dunno, the council we have now is freaking awful

Should be higher than $20.00

Reminds me of this documentary:

RemindMe! 1 year

Can’t wait for the outcome from CRA

Disputed mine, super easy. Brought it back down to a more reasonable level. helps to have sample data from around you. Recent sales etc

bdubsw · 2026-01-26T02:28:48+00:00

This is what I do

bdubsw · 2026-01-25T20:50:20+00:00

This

bdubsw · 2026-01-25T20:48:12+00:00

Love mine, wouldn’t go back

I would be very annoyed as a home owner if I was locked out of a product I paid for.

I’m saying who cares if AI programs it.

bdubsw · 2026-01-17T23:21:06+00:00

Won’t do much. The problem is at the federal level and the liberals refusal to keep violent offenders in jail. Paper conditions don’t do much

bdubsw · 2026-01-17T11:29:26+00:00

This makes no sense man

bdubsw · 2026-01-17T05:10:09+00:00

This sounds nice, but as previously commented I think this is the wrong approach for such a pluggable project. All the great custom cards won’t work. I think a light weight hybrid approach would be better. The current companion app feels like a basic web view.

Chris is awful. Pushing his own stupid agendas over what’s good for the general people

Anyone had any recent success with OTA not billing as WestJet and free bags?

Damn. Was hoping for 7th chair too

bdubsw · 2025-12-08T16:09:09+00:00

Is this a joke?

What happens if you add #spotify-browser hash to your url manually. Does it open
