What element is interchangeable with this water heater
Any generic element will work.
Match wattage with current element.

Rheem wants folks to buy parts from them... so Rheem tries to convince people that Rheem electric water heaters require special parts.
This is not true... ordinary generic parts will function fine on Rheem.

You will find two covers on the front.Behind each cover the you will find a thermostat ,there will be adail on it. It might be numbers like 120,150 or it might be letters,like A,B,C and so on.You take screw driver and turn to the right until you get the tempture you want.

Is the vent fan working well and can you feel unobstructed air out the termination fitting outside?

take the front cover off, it is just snaped on, there you will see it, depending on the age of the unit insinkerator will replace it for free, you just have to install it, but for the most part it might be cheaper to change the unit

If you are not familiar with the element, I would get someone that is familiar with one and have them do it. It's not something I would recommend you do based on your question. There's electrical, pressurized water tank, and a whole lot of water that may cause you to have a worse bad day.
SOURCE: My rheem water heater doesn't seem to be heating
try setting the bottom 10 degrees hoter than the top could be in short cycle (thatis the bottom calls for heat on the bottom element and set too close so goes back to top and cycles off
