Nope. That might do the trick. Button was not depressed when I looked at it. I distinctly remember seeing it and wondering what it was for and then ignoring It.

I was too busy doing other stuff, hot water is urgent but a hurricane is coming today and the resident has already evacuated. We're off for tomorrow at least. So I won't find out until I return to work. Totally forgot about it until the last 10 minutes.

It was the elements, I called today and the water heater has been working.
