Common Water Heater
Problems
If you suddenly don't have hot
water, there are several things that could have happened.
If you have a gas-powered unit, check the gas line and pilot light.
If the gas is on and you can't get the pilot relit, you might just
need to clean the gas burner or replace the thermocouple unit, which
shuts off the gas if the pilot goes out.
On an electric unit, make sure the power is on, then reset the
thermostat. If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to have the
thermostat replaced.
If the tank itself is leaking, the unit is most likely defective and
will have to be replaced immediately.
You should also check your pressure-relief valve, which guards the
tank against rupture from steam pressure, on a yearly basis.
