Why Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
If your water heater still won’t heat after pressing the reset button, an underlying fault is likely. Electric units often have failed heating elements or thermostats. Gas units may have pilot light or thermocouple problems. Sediment buildup can cause overheating and trips. A tripped breaker or loose connections can also stop heating. We diagnose the tank, venting, electrical or gas components, and safety devices end to end.
Quick checks:
- Verify breaker/on-off switch.
- For gas, confirm pilot stays lit.
- Listen for popping (sediment).
- Look for leaks or rust.
