Why would an electric water heater overheat the water and not cycle to shut off when water is warmed to temp thermostat is set for?

You need a new thermostat inside the electric hot water tank, as it is faulty. There is also a reset button on the thermostat that you could try. Does it heat up until the water boils?

AnswerBad thermostat, clogged heater core, or a defective heater control switch. If an engine has not been running long it will not have warmed up, the warmth from a car heater usually comes from the engine.

The engine has to be running and warmed up for the heater to produce hot air. So yes, you need gasoline to get heat from your car (unless you have an electric car).
Why is only warm air blowing when heat is on full after putting in a new thermostat?
The first possibility is the thermostat didn't work. To find this out, after the engine is warmed up u check the hoses going from the engine to the heater, they should be hot. if they are hot then the next reason would be a cable to the temp on the heater needs to be adjusted or the heater core is plugged inside or out.

What could be the problem in a 1989 Chevy S10 4.3 that has no heat?
Assuming the coolant level is full, it could be a stuck open thermostat or a plugged up heater core. With the vehicle warmed up, heater on and engine running, feel the heater hoses with your hands. If they are both luke warm you probably need to replace the thermostat. If one is hot and the other is luke warm you probably need to flush the heater core. If they are both hot you may have a problem with the temp blend door.
How do you knoW if heater coil is not working IN A 1996 S-10 2.2?
With the engine warmed up and running, open the hood and feel both heater hoses with your hand. They should both be hot. If one is hot and the other is cold or warm, the heater core is plugged. If they are both cold or warm the thermostat is stuck open or you are low on coolant.
You cant the heater on your 03 s-10 to get hot you have changed the core thermostat d water pump What is next?
The heater core may be plugged. With the engine running and fully warmed up, feel both of the heater hoses with your hands. If one hose is hot and the other is luke warm or cold, the heater is plugged in which case you can try flushing the heater core. If both hoses are hot, the temp blend door acuator behind the dash assembly is broken. If both hoses are cold, replace the thermostat again and be sure the cooling system is full.
Can't figure out why there's no heat?
You may be low on coolant. There can be enough so that the car does not overheat, but not enough to get to the heater core. If the coolant level is okay and you still have no heat, with the engine warmed up and running, open the hood and grasp both heater hoses one at a time with your hand, if one hose is warm or cold and the other is hot you probably have a clogged heater core in which case you can flush it out with the garden hose. If both hoses are warm or cold you probably have a stuck open thermostat , replace it. If both hoses are hot you probably have a problem with the temp blend door in the duct work.
How do you know if your 95 geo prizm needs a thermostat change?
Thermostat can stick open or closed. If sticks open, car will take longer to warm up because coolant is constantly flowing thru engine. If thermostat is stuck closed, engine will eventually overheat. In order for all emission systems to work properly, thermostat needs to be working. For 1995 GEO Prizm, if thermostat is working correctly, car should maintain proper operating temperature after is warmed up. If any doubt about thermostat, changev it every few years as is inexpensive and easy to replace.
