Frequently Asked Questions
When your water heater isn’t heating, start by checking the circuit breakers. For electric water heaters, reset both breakers, as tripped breakers are a common cause. For gas heaters, check the gas supply valve and ensure that it's open. If the burner won't stay on, the burner assembly may be faulty or the flue may be blocked. Clear the flue vent outlet if it's blocked. If these simple fixes don’t work, it's best to contact Sears Home Services for professional appliance repairs.
If your water heater is heating water too hot, the thermostat setting may be too high. Check and adjust the thermostat to no higher than 130°F, or 120°F for households with children. If adjusting the thermostat doesn’t solve the problem, the thermostat itself or a malfunctioning heating element might need replacing. Sears Home Services can help with diagnosing and fixing the issue.
When your water heater is leaking, begin by checking the water pipe fittings and tightening any loose connections. Also, inspect the pressure relief valve and drain valve for leaks, which may need replacing. In electric water heaters, a leaking heating element could be the cause. If you're unable to resolve the issue, contact Sears Home Services to fix the leak.
While some minor issues like resetting a breaker or adjusting the thermostat can be addressed by homeowners, more complex problems such as faulty heating elements, gas supply issues, or a leaking tank often require professional attention.
Sears Home Services technicians are trained to diagnose and repair all kinds of water heater issues quickly and efficiently, ensuring the problem is fixed right the first time.
