[DIY] Question on Red button on hot water heater

 

Hi, we live in a rural area. Our electric goes out. It surges, and has ruined a microwave, and washer. 


The other morning I woke up to no hot water. I opened the heater to hit the reset (red button) and also checked and did the circuit breaker. We now have hot water. 

My question is, could the power surge made the unit shut off, to protect it.?  Or should I be worried its over heating. I know how to lower it. At one point we needed to raise it as we were running out of hot water. 


Thanks for any input.  The unit is 6 years old. Never drained or cleaned out.  (I know, I know. BAD! )
