So the issue with the hot water heater isn't the hot water heater ... it is apparently an electrical issue. *le sigh* Of course, I didn't get this diagnosis from the plumber until almost 4pm, so it was too late to get someone out here today.

Another night and morning with no hot water ~brrrrr~.

Gee, you would think that any plumber would be able to fix a thermostat or switch or something in a water heater. That doesn't take any special electrical skills.

Maybe something with the circuit. But what? It's a hunk of 3-strand wire and breaker. What's to break down?

This is a side reason that I have a gym membership. Things go wrong I have plumbing available in a familiar place.

The plumber basically put a volt meter on the water heater .. and instead of it getting the 240 volts it needs .. it was barely getting 80. So, need the man who won't get electrocuted.

Very odd, my guess is a loose connection at the breakers. That would cause something like this, would also cause a fire if the wiring was not done right.

I wonder if your house has Al wires. Electrician time; I stay away from Aluminum wire issues.
