A thermostat has to sit flat against the tank wall to read temperature correctly. One that has been disturbed and refitted loosely makes the heater behave erratically, cycling early or overshooting.
Owners can check the breaker and look for water around the base, which often means an element gasket. All electrical and element work should be done by a technician with the circuit isolated and the tank drained as required.
