    Hot Water
    Two weeks ago we replaced the elements and thermostat in our hot water heater. Well now we don't have hot water. I took a shower this moring before noon and everything was fine. I went to do dishes around 4 pm and I had no hot water.
    What could be the problem?

    Hi Allie

    Did you check the breaker (or fuse) at the main electrical panel... may have tripped? I would start there.

    If that fails to show an issue (breaker/fuse issue) then I would check the TOP thermostat and push in the RED RESET BUTTON. If it clicks in (resets) then I suspect that you may have wires touching somewhere (be careful) or you may have a defective thermostat... maybe?

    Check the breaker or fuse and then the red reset button... let us know what you find!
