Ahhh shucks, Janet, that's too bad! You have a water heater to spend money on and I'm spending on appliances! It's always something isn't it? I really need my back yard done and instead, I had to get a new stove. I hope that your husband pitches in and helps you to get it repaired or replaced. I'm sure that you'll find that a new one will be more energy efficient and will pay for itself in the long run.

If you're total electric you might check with your electric company and see if they'll replace it for you. I know that our electric company will do that for you once IF you're total electric, which we aren't. Good luck and it hope that it's not as expensive as you're afraid that it might be.
