I didn't turn the power off when adjusting the temperature
I adjusted the temperature on the Rheem water heater (81V52D) but didn't turn the power off when I did this. I realized after the fact that the directions said to turn the power off. Is it okay now that the adjustment has been made or do I risk any other problems?Got instructions to adjust for hoter water on line but realized I missed the step. Thanks for your help

Since you survived, I'm sure the water heater is fine as well... :) Good luck! Mark |
