Hot Water Electric ALWAYS hot?
I burned out my electric element this year for the usual reasons....had bypassed the water tank and forgot.....turned on the electric and there was no water! So, I went to replace it and turned off the HWH breaker at the box and tested the wires and the white wire was still 120??? I then threw the main breaker and I STILL had 120 on the white wire?? There obviously isn't any flow to ground unless the switch is on, but shouldn't the power be dead with the main breaker thrown???
