Today I became a human ice sculpture.
Why? My hot water heater is producing no hot water, and I can’t figure out why. I tested it last night and thought a heating element was out, so I drained the heater and put a new one in. Nope, I went from having tepid water to ice water.
Next step? Put in new thermostats. Let’s hope that works. The cost for all the parts to completely rebuild the heater electric is about $30, but I’d rather not spend it if I don’t have to. Still, it would be nice to take a warm shower as I’m still cold from this mornings blast of 37 F degree water.
Update: I went home at lunch and fixed the heater. It seems to work now. Read about it in the comments.
