Water heater not working

[nzamora]

I bought a 6 gal electric water heater at homedepot have used it for about 4 mon Its stoped working all of asudden the when I plug it in the start light wont turn on so my water is not heating up.

Has this ever happend to anyone

I dont know what caused it,whether its because of the constante movement of the truck, the only other thing that was giving me problem was that I used copper hoses to connect my tubing they kept breaking and leaking so I changed them to onece made of a different matirial that look like a regular hose. Im not sure if this is the problem but it worked fine for a couple of days and now its compleatly broken

the manufactures are giving me such a hard time and want me to hire a plumer to fix it with their assistance over the phone in order to prove its defective and then maybe replace it under warenty(

Im wondering if I should by a new one, has anyone used a 4 gal water heater? or is the 6 better any ideas on what could be wrong

Does it have an on/off switch that might have gotten swtiched or something? Just a guess.

I did have an Arsin (spelling) 4 gal instant, I wouldn't go that small. I was always running out of hotwater. I now have a propane 6gal & love it, at times its too hot & I have to cool it down.

Its an aristol 6 gal it does hav an on off switch but it I've made sure that its on

You have most likely kicked the overheating breaker. this is not the on off switch, but a reset button behind the control panel. I tripped mine a few months back. If the water gets too hot or the heating element gets too hot it will trip the circuit. Its a simple push of a button. You might need to turn your thermostat down a click to keep it from happening again. It might have kicked the breaker if you ran it out of water unknowingly.

i got someone to take a look at It They told me it was the thermostat so I had to replace it. So far that did the trick it works now, I did run it when I was low on water so that might of been it
