Kenmore 50 gal. Medium Height Electric Water Heater (32666) —

The unit kept tripping off due to water getting to hot. Sears would not provide new thermostats without charging me for labor even though it is a five minute "do it yourself job". The hot water heater is only 20 months old. The last hot water heater in the house lasted 31 years without any problems.
