Review: RHEEM DIRECT REPLACEMENT - Looked identical to the Rheem thermostat that was removed. Worked perfectly, simple job to the people wondering
Review: Works great. Replacement for an old GE water heater. - Replaced the thermostat on a 20-year-old GE water tank with this one and it was perfect. It's been working for about a year. Just for information, the old thermostat was tripping its circuit breaker and I had to keep resetting the red button on it. And the water was getting very hot. So the thermostat was going bad. This one is working perfectly

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is a wiring diagram included for simultaneous vs non simultaneous?**
A: If I remember correctly no wiring was provided. I simply copied the wiring pattern my water heater came with the prior thermostat that burnt out.

**Q: This looks the same as mine on my Whoolpool 2006 , does anyone know if this fits the 40 gallon tank**
A: Probably...I installed it on my 40 gallon unit.

**Q: Can this handle a 6500 watt heating element**
A: Yes it can. Thermostat strictly controls temperature regardless of wattage of element.

**Q: Where, on the part, does the part no., Rheem SP11698 appear?**
A: Hello,
Thank you for the message.
That part number does not appear on this part. 
Also, this is a universal aftermarket replacement for part number UV11698
Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
