    What to do if the water in the house still isn’t hot? Brand new home.. new water heater exactly the same as yours.. adjusted the water temperature up a little past 125 and still nothing ??? Cold water

      No hot water at all?
      Is the water heater getting power?

    What's the reset button for?

      The reset button is also known as the emergency limit switch, and will trip if the water temperature in the tank become dangerously hot. This is usually around 180°.
      This prevents an electrical or mechanical malfunction from seriously burning you, or someone else, in your home.
