My hot water hearter circuit breaker, ( the red one on the thermostat ) has popped for the longest, I just replaced the upper and lower elements, and the upper and lower thermostats, and it is still popping at least once a day. I have no clue what it could be unless one of the thermostats I bought were defective, but doubtful, any advice on what to try next?

Usually that is caused by a overheating condition. The control could be bad or someone adjusted the water temperature to high.

Well since I've replaced everything, I set the water temp to 120 degrees, and that's the lowest setting. If it's an overheating problem what can I do to fix it?

Did you replace all the parts including the thermostat/red button reset control. Etc?
