A water heater that produces no hot water may not be getting power, may have a tripped limit switch, or may have one or more failed heating elements. First, check the water heaters circuit breaker in the service panel to make sure it hasnt tripped. If the breaker has tripped, switch it off, then switch it back on.
Why is there no hot water coming out of my tap?
If you have no hot water from the taps, the most likely culprit is often a leaking water heater. A water heater leak can contribute directly to a lack of hot water in your home. If the source of the leaks come from loose or broken valves, you may be able to tighten or replace those valves by yourself.
Why do I suddenly have less hot water?
If you have recently noticed that your water heater suddenly seems to supply less hot water, or runs out suddenly, it could be that your water heater tank is too small to keep up with demand. Installing a larger tank or tankless water heater will ensure that you have all the water your household needs.
Why does my hot water keep going hot then cold?
If youve noticed that your hot water is suddenly turning cold after a very short amount of time, the most likely cause is a broken dip tube inside your hot water heater. And when that happens, youll get lukewarm water delivered to you soon after you start using hot water.
Why does my hot water only work when the heating is on?
It is common for a faulty diverter valve to only become apparent in the warmer months once the central heating is not needed. If hot water only comes out of your taps when the central heating turns on, it is likely that the diverter valve is not diverting hot water properly.
