If your water heater malfunctions, there are certain steps you can take to troubleshoot issues before calling a plumber. Our experts suggest that you check the pilot light to ensure it’s still lit, see if the circuit breaker was tripped, and look at the thermostat to see what temperature it’s at.
If these tips do not resolve the issue, you must schedule professional repairs.
