The most common problems with water heaters include stuck valves, overheating, improper water pressure, leaking water tanks, bad gaskets, faulty temperature and pressure release valves, and loose heating element bolts. These issues can result in dirty water, lower water flow, or a complete lack of hot water.
You may be running out of hot water due to sediment buildup, a water tank that's too small for your home's needs, or a faulty heating element. If you water heater is 10 years old or older it may be time for a replacement. Regular maintenance, such as draining the tank and flushing out sediment, can help prevent this issue.
To reset your water heater, locate the red reset button, which is usually next to one of the thermostats. Press this button, and the water heater will take about an hour to reset. *SAFETY TIP: Before attempting this though, ensure you've turned off the power to the heater at the circuit breaker.
Performing regular maintenance can help prevent minor issues from becoming major problems and can extend the life of your water heater. Regular maintenance for water heaters include:
- Draining the tank and flushing out sediment at least once a year
- Insulating the hot water pipes
- Inspecting the water heater annually
- Maintaining a water temperature of 120F or lower
- Testing the temperature pressure relief valve once or twice a year
- Replacing the anode rod about every five years
