Randy,

The resets at the water heater reset the over temp wafer switches. They should only trip if the thermostat wafer switches fail in the on mode. They don't pop out but you can feel them reset when you push them in if they are tripped.

If the fridge was working on AC then the breaker at the fuse panel is ok. The only thing left is to check for power to the element. It's also possible that you have a new - DOA (Dead On Arrival) element, disconnect it and check for continuity across it.

If you need some help, give me a call, I'm in the Calhoun phone book.

Mike
