Hey--stupid fuck....
This whole bit was covered quite a while ago...but obviously seems you
totally missed it--now to you to research just whom it was had posted it in
the first place...
But if you wish to take the personal responsiblity of resetting for your
self the fusable alloy that resides within the Rheem safety the that shuts
down the fucking supply on overtemp then I guess go for it...beings as the
probable end result is there being possibly several less count of ignorant
fucking cannooks going around and posting bad info on the internet.
Now, just to make sure that I had at least mentioned "stupid fuck" at least
one time within this particular post...
