Replace thermostat in heating element on 120v single hot water heater in still no hot water i check for power it has 120 on each side the make is ge 19.9 120 volt # ge20p6sag

There should be a temperature fuse look like in much case on the picture and this fuse element is in serial with the power from switch to the heating-element sometimes its hidden in an electrical heat shrink sleeve.or anywhere but is build in its to find before one of the 2 leads before the heating element, the thermostat is only to switch on an max temperature but the safety fuse is made , when the thermostat become defect it has a safety max temp before it becomes defect if it the temperature rises above to fire dangerous if the thermostat dont stop. some times max 120 degrees and more or less to choose the max temp is on the fuse to read.
By replace this fuse its importand to place a pliers the flat nose on the lead and right near the fuse element on the lead-site that is having to be soldering so the heat by soldering cannot get in the fuse because it would direct defekt by soldering heat

How does one reset standard temp Max from 50 to 60Deg c on keypad?

It may not be possible, you are at 122C which is just above the recommended max.

In 1988, the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommended that water heater manufacturers preset the maximum temperature at 120 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent burns. Since several states have mandated this maximum temperature.

Need to up water temp in a 50 gal rheem 82v52 electric no dial obvious

The two blue rectangular cover plates, held on by two scews, cand be removed by taking out screws. There might be a little piece of insulation present when you pull off the panel, pull that out. You will see a pointer that is shaped kind of like an egg, pointing at numbers which represent temp in degrees. Start with the lower dial, this is your thermostat, Raise temp setting by 10 deg. Hypothetically, depending on what your present setting is, try setting lower thermostat at 130 and upper at 120. Your lower thermostat should be higher than the upper because of heat rising, it is more effecient and both thermostats don't have to be at the same temp. This will save you money in the long run.

Our 606 reliance electric hot water heater has the letters a b c for the temp control not 120-160 degrees. On what letter a-b or c should the temp be set on to get 120 degrees

We will just assume that "a" is the lowest temperature
to correspond to 120 degrees, while "c" for 160 degrees.
So try setting it at "a" and feel the hot water that flow.
Or it could be the other way. Just feel the hot water that
flow. It will be done in a few minutes. I hope this will help
you.

Raising temperature above 120 degrees requires service call.
Or change dip switch settings and risk voiding warranty and causing service call expense.
http://waterheatertimer.org/Troubleshoot-Rheem-Tankless-water-heater.html#temperature

Earliest versions of Rheem tankless 2006-8 let you set temperature up to 140 degrees F using remote.
However the hotter setting caused error codes because the burner cannot keep up with both high temperature and large volume of hot water rushing through pipe. Especially in winter with cooler incoming water that must be heated more to reach temperature set point.
The burner simply cannot keep up.
So Rheem changed maximum temperature at remote control to tepid 120 degrees, which is not hot enough for folks wanting hot shower, or folks filling whirlpool tub because water in tub cools before tub fills.
