How do I turn down thermostat on this water heater?

The temperture of a water heater should be approx 120 degrees. If you use a dishwasher that is the desirable tempurture to kill bacteria.

If your heater has two thermostates then make sure they are set for a 5 degree difference between them

Good Luck,

Marty

My temperture and pressure controlon side of water heater keeps letting off water even after being replaced.

i believe you may need an expansion tank. this would be installed anywhere on the cold water line between the water meter and the hot water tank. the tank would take up the excess pressure in the system

I live in an apartment with central air conditioning....the panel in my room has two sides that have numbers..the left side says 84 and the right side says what ever number I put it...but why doesn't the...

Yes, Set the right side to 74 and you should feel cool air from vent Give it 15-30 minutes and chk to see if left side drops. If it has a preset at a certain time it will default to the preset if its in that time period and is shut off. Make sure it is set on cool. 84 is hi and is normally set there by managers to cut costs.
