Water Heater

[gofishbass]

Have always used the electric as opposed to the propane for hot water. Today I get 15 seconds of hot water and then it runs cool. Anyone else have this happen?

Check the outside shower head and valves. If the head is pushed to off, but the valves are open it mixes the cold with the hot water. You will never get hot water. I cannot think of anything else that would mix cold with hot. If you got some hot water, it points to the water heater working. If the electrical heating element went bad, the water would slowly get cold.

Thanks but I checked the outdoor shower vaulves and they were closed.

It's never easy. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think your heating element burned out, around 20 dollars and a big breaker bar or impact

Use your meter and see if you have continuity

Does it work on gas?
