SOURCE: i switched off the power to my electric rheem 142

Turn power off to water heater at breaker panel, remove cover where electrical cord is, and check behind it for thermostat, with red button in center, push it in to reset. It may have tripped for some reason when power turned back on to it. Do you have a multimeter, to test for power at heating element?

I had the exact same problem. I even replaced the first unit with a second unit...because I was sure I hooked everything up correctly. Then I called their support line and and felt very stupid. They asked one question "are you plugging in the Quick&Hot into the same electrical outlet as the garbage disposal"?. I said yes..and the garbage disposal works fine (thinking that this indicates a good electrical outlet). She then said "That outlet works off of a switch so no electricity is getting to the Quick&Hot until the disposal is turned on). Gosh darn it...that made total sense. I then tested this out by plugging an extension cord into a different outlet and it worked fine. Boy...do I feel stupid. Hope this helps.
