Water heater died, got a new one. It has to be one of the most unhinged temperature scales I have seen. It started at an A out of Very Hot, which was too hot, so we turned it down to Hot. We’ll see how that goes, might turn it down to “ “ later.
Sadly, it's pretty common. Last two water heaters I've had were like that.
All I can think is that it's less "what temperature do you want?" and more "How often do you want the burner to run?" since I guess they're too cheap to put a thermocouple near the top of the tank.
FWIW, I think they also screwed up the labeling. " " should be "Low" and "Low" should be something like "Vacation".
