The
problem may be a tripped fuse, a thermostat that is set too low,
or a problem with the heating element or heater controls.
- Check
the obvious first. Go to the main breaker panel and check for any
tripped breakers or blown fuses. If a circuit/fuse continues to
blow, call in an electrician for repairs.
- Since
the water temperature was fine before, it doesn't seem likely that
the thermostat would be set too low. Check it anyway, though.
- The
high-temperature cutoff in the heater may have tripped. They are
located where the thermostats are. Remove the cover and push the
reset button.
- If
there is still a problem, then suspect the heating element(s). They
can be tested with a continuity checker (a test light). Replacing
a heating element is not a difficult job.
