Question:

How do I know which heating element is bad in my hot water heater?

Answer:

Henry Johnson, Plumbing Expert

If your hot water heater is not producing enough hot water or is not heating the water at all, it could be due to a faulty heating element. To determine which heating element is bad, you will need to use a multimeter to test the resistance of each element. First, turn off the power supply to the water heater and remove the access panel. Then, use the multimeter to test the resistance of each heating element. If one of the elements has a significantly higher resistance than the other, it is likely the faulty one. However, if both elements have similar resistance, the issue may be with the thermostat or another component of the water heater. If you are unsure about how to test the heating elements or need assistance with water heater repair, contact the specialists at 5 Star Best Plumbing for expert assistance.
