Question:

How to Fix a Rheem Water Heater That is Emitting a Foul Odor?

Answer:

James Thompson, Water Heater Repair Expert

If your Rheem water heater is emitting a foul odor, there are a few steps you can take to address the issue. First, check the anode rod, as a deteriorated rod can cause unpleasant smells. If the rod is corroded, replacing it should eliminate the odor. Additionally, flushing the tank to remove any sediment buildup can help. You can do this by turning off the power and water supply, attaching a hose to the drain valve, and draining the tank completely. Lastly, consider using a water heater cleaning solution to eliminate any bacteria causing the odor. If these steps don’t solve the problem, it’s best to consult a professional plumber who specializes in water heater repair. The experts at 5 Star Best Plumbing are always ready to assist you with any plumbing issues.
