I have solar, so the water heater doesn't work to often.
We've been having lots of rain the last few day, and I noticed not much hot water.
I reset the breaker in the heater.
It normally trips when the water, from the solar, get to hot.
It's been that way from when we got it.
They did come out and check it, but said it's just making to much hot water.
Anyway.........normally, when I reset the breaker, when there is no hot water, I can hear the heater making noise.
I think the water starting to boil, or something like that.
In less than 1/2 hour, I have hot water.
It's not doing than anymore.
I checked the breaker box and it's good.
There is voltage in the line.
Checked with the non-contact tester.
What else could I check????
It is over 20 years old.
