SOURCE: Hot water heater leaking at the top valvue
I believe the problem you had with the pop off valve is a one time thing since you said you just installed the water h eater
The pop off valve is a pressure relief valve that is activated by build up in the tank from excessive pressure either through too much heat or pressure which works by pressing aginst a spring loaded valve
If you go to the whater heater and look at the valve ther is a handle on it take your hand (stand clear of valve opening) and slowly pull it you will see water start to come out
More than likely a new valve could have had a piece of debris in it or was partially open
re
If the heater was overheating the valve would stay open and you would see extremly hot water rushing out
I do not recommend that you replace the valve unless it continues
Good luck to you
SOURCE: this is a new whirlpool hot water heater.pilot
LP OR NAT GAS , IF IT IS LP CHECK GAS PRESSURE @ TANK AND MAKE SURE NOT TO HIGH , IF NAT STILL COULD BE THE PROBLEM HAVE THE GAS COMPANY CK PRESSURE
SOURCE: no hot water, control board light stays green
It may be bad thermostat terminals of the water heater, or, alternatively, the very top heating element is in need of replacement. See this handy diagnostic article for more info:

make sure it is wired correctly, check circuit breaker, check breaker built on to element. If all fails, and it is determined your not getting power to it, you may need a electrician. Be careful. good luck.
