Read through our quick answers to the most common questions regarding home electric water heater repairs.
Lukewarm water usually indicates that the upper heating element is working fine, but the lower element has burnt out completely, failing to heat the bottom half of the tank.
The safety reset button trips when the water temperature inside the tank spikes past a safe limit, which is typically caused by a stuck or broken thermostat.
Hard water minerals coat the element casing, creating a thick crust that traps intense heat inside the element until it overheats and splits open.
No, turning on the power to an empty tank causes dry firing, which instantly destroys the new heating elements within seconds.
