Trey and Patty are on their way to my house as I type to fix my water heater! Hopefully I'll soon have hot water!! And when I do I'm taking a shower and staying put until I use it all up... and it better refill!!
I will fill you all in later!!!
I should have done that weeks ago!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that evening...
One of the heating elements was totally fried!! It could have happened if the tank wasn't full, the element was dry and it fried. New element was $10. We replaced both top and bottom elements, just to be safe. No leakage this time and I had hot water in less than an hour. Last time it was 2 days.
This is what a heating element should look like
This is the element Trey removed from my one-month old water heater.
A close up of the element. Think maybe it was defective?
So so so happy now! It's late but tomorrow I am going to enjoy a nice hot leisurely shower... maybe even two.
