Good job! Could the popping noise be the relay? Mine is mounted on right wall above the AH. It was acting weird a few years ago.
Also, the electrical connections under the access door on the front (curbside) of the unit can get loose and start arcing. I had this problem and have seen at least one other. Turn off the power and take off the access cover and inspect the connections. Mine just had a wire nut and when it got loose, it melted and then was arcing against the cover plate.
Rudy helped me fix that one.
Enjoy the hot water!
