Troubleshoot and Repair - Electric Water Heater Not Heating

The electric water heater in our tiny home cabin was not making hot water, and we know we need that. I troubleshoot the issue and fix it. How did I do?

Exactly. The troubleshooting steps are pretty much the same too.

Good job. 👏
question: why is there so much rust on a 2021 water heater? Is that normal? And could you hear the rod clinking before it went out? A lot of times you hear it banging bc the corrosion is making it loose.

That is a good question, but I have seen new ones like that. I am not sure they are built the best anymore. As for the element, we are not out there enough to really hear anything break. We just find it that way when we get there. Like the busted water meter the last time I went out. SMH 😒

It's not a Hot Water Heater. It's a water heater. If the water is already hot you wouldn't need to heat it. Actually it's a Cold Water heater LOL..... Just screwin with ya. :) Great how to video..

Duh, haha. Thank you for that. That brain of mine goes off the rails sometimes.
