    A clicking sound coming from water heater
    Hello,

    I have a 6 year old water heater that has started making a clicking sound. I never heard it before and it s not a constant just occasionally. Should I worry?

    Thanks

    Tshooker62 - I can't be sure on this without being there , so I am going to just guess on this one - I think that you may be hearing the sound that the heating element makes as it comes on or switches from top[ to bottom :: I hope that I hit it right. Let us all know ;; Have a better day tomorrow and GOD BLESS :: F.B.E.
