Reset the power to the anode power supply by resetting the power supply to the water heater. The tank might not be filled with water, so disconnect the water heater from the power supply and fill the tank with water. Check the insulation on all connecting harnesses for bare spots and check the connections at the power supply and anode terminals due to poor electrical connection between anode power supply and anode rod. Polarity may be reversed due to incorrect wiring, so refer to the wiring diagram and correct polarity. There may be a defective seal in anode bushing, with the anode rod no longer insulated from the tank. With an ohmmeter, check ...
