SOURCE: hot water gets too hot trips off at tank then

It's time to replace your thermostat. Instead of maintaing the correct water temperature, the water is getting so hot it is acivating the safety circuit breaker. If this breaker were to fail, you could have a devastating explosion

ECO reset button trips for several reasons.

1) Easiest thing without testing, is replace both thermostats.

2) If problem persists, then test elements.

3) If problem continues, do full troubleshoot

State Water heater pushed button to turn water down - all lights were lit initially.now no hot water - tried to reset - not resetting - help!

Which water heater do you have?
Is this gas or electric, tank or tankless?
What button did you push to turn water down??
Do you mean turn down water temperature?
What lights do you have that are lighting up?

Called and was told to change lower thermostat but yet again I had to go push red reset button on top panel to get it back on to get hot water. what should I do now?

You have electric water heater.
You have top and bottom panel, so water heater is 240Volt.
No hot water because ECO reset button tripped.
Water heater works correctly when reset button is reset, so electric power and circuit breaker are good. Water heater wiring is probably good.

Problem is most likely bad thermostat.
I usually replace both upper and lower thermostats.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-replace-thermostat-on-electric-water-heater.html

If problems continue after replacing thermostats, then test and replace elements.

I have a Rheem Marathon 105 gal. electric hot water heater. No hot water ....

Check 240 circuit breaker.
Open top cover on water heater and push in ECO red reset button.
If reset button will not reset, then replace thermostat.
If reset is not tripped out, then either upper thermostat is bad, upper element is bad, or water heater might be getting 120V instead of 240V.
If you have some hot water, then best suspect is lower element.
