Just... haven't. Well, in part because I have been working with the water heater.
I looked up the panel, with the fuses. Mainly to see how to remove them, if only really to check them. But, in reviewing the information, I realized it wasn't the fuses. There is a subpanel just for that. Now, I haven't checked the main box, yet. However, I did read the manual, and found a bit that might help.
The information wouldn't explain why it stopped working. But it might have proven to be a solution to fixing it. Or... this time. A reset button. Especially since I changed the water temp. I had both top and bottom at 150, F. I was sure I had changed that, when installed. So, has someone messed with the temps since? Don't know, but it's odd.
I add cold water with it, when shower. But, yes, I can handle rather... warm water. Not boiling water, anymore. But I can handle rather hot water. At 150, full blast, it won't scald me. Though I prefer some cold water in with it. They recommend 120, or less. I'm not even sure that would make for even a warm shower, to my thinking.
Anyway. I found the reset button and clicked it, to a nice satisfying, tactical and audible click. Then I pushed the lever to turn on the subpanel (wasn't going to play in there with that live, 250 v, at 30 a? no). It sounds like the thing started. Though... who knows. It sounded like it had been working before. Just... a stir, or sense... of something. I'll give it an half hour, check the water. That should be warmed by then, if... it can be warmed. Ugh.
Until that gets sorted, dishes, laundry, and showering are on hold.
Quite a wind came up. Earlier, it was up to 42 F, or so? Crazy. Wow! It's 43 out right now? Far after sundown, with hefty gusts and a steady wind as well. Very strange weather. Humidity is up, too. Either a southern or warm wind from the west? Though, wherever it is from, when it hits the valley it may well become distorted. Not sure where it comes from by where it blows. Only by the temp, to some degree. Or so I suspect.
Well... I'll game just a bit. I turned the electric blanket on. If the water heater does it's job, I will make sure to shower tonight yet, if that probably also means finishing off a few dishes. Bleh. Later, or goodnight.
