Water Heater No Hot Water Coming Out

Pilot lights can go out when there s nothing wrong with the appliance.
Water heater no hot water coming out. On one occasion i could not get the bang to happen and therefore could not get the water to run. But if the lever is turned 90 degrees to the gas line then it s in the off position meaning no gas is going to the water heater. You ll need to remove the cover of your water heater to inspect and relight pilot light. If the upper element is burned out once the hot water in the tank is depleted you will have no hot water as the upper thermostat will never be satisfied and switch over to the lower element.
Turn off the breaker to the water heater s circuit in the service panel. There are several things that can wear out or stop working on your water heater resulting in what may seem like the hot water is not working. Check the pilot light the pilot light ignites your water heater s burner to heat the water. However if that is not the cause of the problem it s not difficult to troubleshoot your water heater to locate the issue.
An absence of hot water generally occurs as a result of all the hot water in the tank being used up for example by running both the washing machine and dishwasher at the same time. So if the pilot light goes out there s nothing to ignite the burner and heat the water. In this case all you have to do is relight the pilot and the problem is solved. This may happen several times a day.
If the heater s breaker did not trip it is still on try to reset the high temperature limit on the heater. One of the worst things a homeowner can experience is having no hot water in the house. I open the hot water tap anywhere in the house and no water comes out not cold water no water at all. Then suddenly i will hear a loud bang from the pipes and there ya go hot water.
If your gas hot water heater isn t making any hot water chances are the pilot light is out. Here s my strange problem. Remove the insulation and the plastic safety guard. Remove the access panel for the upper heating element on the water heater.
Hot water on demand is something we often take for granted. If the lower element is burned out you will have hot water which is only in the upper portion of the tank which will rapidly run out and turn cold.
