Judy what did you find out? We went though 3 water heaters when we moved up here. But we only paid for one because the one that they put it was bad twice.
Hope you have more hot water soon.

Diana, thanks for the websites! I do have an electric water heater. It really is a good thing I didn't get the drain open.
 Most electric hot water heaters have two thermostats, one near the top of the tank and one near the bottom, and are covered by removable metal cover plates. The thermostats are pressed firmly against the bare metal wall of the hot water heaters tank. Problem: Water not hot. First remove the upper thermostat cover plate and check the high limit switch button. If it has tripped, press it to reset it.
Check for power at the input terminals of the upper thermostat. (usually marked L2 and L2) If no power is present then check your circuit breakers or wiring to the water heater. If there is no hot water then the upper thermostat should be applying power to the upper heating element. Check for voltage at the upper heating element. If there is power at the heating element but the element is not getting hot then the heating element needs to be replaced. If there is no power at the upper heating element then the upper thermostat needs to be replaced. Translation: I need to call someone to fix it!

Boy it is such a pain when appliances go out. I'm not sure who you call, a plumber would probably know or call one of the hardware stores like Lowes or Menards and see if they have a service man.

Diana - Steve (my SIL) said he will fix it since it's an electric heater and he's an electrician. I think we should start placing bets on when we all think he'll finally show up!!! *&%??&!
