Why Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
Resetting the button rarely fixes the root problem. Likely causes include a tripped breaker, failed thermostat, burned-out heating element, gas supply or pilot/igniter issues, or sediment buildup causing overheating. If the high-limit switch trips again, stop resetting and schedule service. For any gas smell, scorch marks, or wet wiring, shut off gas or power and water, then call 24/7. Elmer’s serves San Antonio and nearby cities and works on tank, gas, electric, and tankless water heaters.
