Last night my main breaker tripped (100A). I reset it and it tripped again 10 minutes later. I suspect it is the water heater because it's old (like 15 yrs). But it trips the MAIN breaker, not the 30A breaker in the inside panel that runs only to the water heater. Left the water heater off all last night-no problem. Turned it on this morning and 10 minutes later... Same thing. Main trips, NOT the breaker between that goes to the water heater. Do I need a new water heater, main breaker, something else?
