Most of the controls on gas water heaters have a one time use overheat sensor that when tripped cannot be reset, the control has to be replaced.

How long should you wait before you have hot water since you reset the water heater and reset the breakers?
As you say you had to reset the circuit breakers, the water heater's heating element may have "died" by shorting to Ground or Earth. This could be the reason why its circuit's breakers tripped to cut off the power. Time to buy a new water heater...? <><><> Typically, you should be able to tell a difference as quick as 15 minutes or so, but it may take well over an hour or two for it to reach "operating temperature". Some electric hot water heaters, you can even hear them as they heat, and you typically can the gas ones. Your biggest variables, assuming you're not using hot water as it heats, is the amount of water that is in the heater, as well as the heating power the heater puts out into the water. Electrics are practically 100% efficient, but gas ones are not even close, but they do operate at higher heater temps and can heat the water faster. <><><> It takes about an hour for a fifty gallon electric water heater to heat up.
How can you tell if a hot water heater is grounded?
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HOT WATER HEATER.
Why is your water tank not retaining hot water?
Assuming you are talking about a home water heater, there is a pressure relief valve above the hot water line - usually on a tee or an ell above where the hot water line comes out of the heater and usually leads to the floor and under the house. The valve is designed to relieve the pressure in the water heater when the water becomes too hot. The valve may have corroded and is stuck in the open position thereby releasing the hot water. You can feel the pipe that connects to the valve = if it is hot, it is leaking water; if it is cold, the problem lies elsewhere - maybe the thermostat could be set too low.

There are a number of ways to do that. 1. Raise the temperature of your water-heater. 2. Insulate your pipes. 3. Buy a bigger (or more efficient) water-heater. ?4. Live alone.?You combine any two of those things..and you'll definitely notice a difference.
how can I fix the hot water problem without an plumber?
According to DIY on Hot Water Promblems if theres not enough water then you hit the reset button. If the water is too hot then change the temperature and reset. If you have a leaky heater then you need to replace the valve. If you have a rusty tank then you need to replace the water heater. If you have a noisy heater then you need to drain and flush the tank. If you have dirty water then drain and flush the tank and do it on a regular basis.
When your thermostat is stuck canl it put water in oil?
water in the oil ? Unlikely . Stuck closed the engine will overheat in short time. Stuck open , the engine will probably never reach operating temperature , and cold air will come out of the heater
Why would the Change oil light stay on and have no heat but blower works heater core is fine water level fine a c control panel fine theromstat fine?
need more info BUT the oil change light on modern vehicles must be manually reset by following the manufactureer reset procedure each automaker has their own. no heat can be caused by a logged heater core, a faulty control knob, a stuck blend door, air in the cooling system, or a faulty heater core valve.

1987 Dakota can not get the heater to put out heat?
There are a few potential problems possible. Plugged heater core, collapsed water lines to or from the heater core, low radiator coolant, engine thermostat stuck open, or a faulty damper in the heater ducting.
Why your defroster suddenly stopped?
The water is not circulating through the heater core or you have a control problem. If the heater is putting out heat then it is probably a control problem. If no heat then - water pump out, low on coolant, or maybe the therostat is stuck open.
Your dodge spirit 1990 heater does not get hot?
Probably a bad thermostat - stuck open so the water temperature in the engine block doesn't get hot enough to make the heater warm.
Your car overheats and the heater takes a long time to heat up it's a '97 Mitsubishi eclipse gsx could the water pump be the problem?
Yes or possibly a stuck thermostat. this is most likely a stuck thermostat. Heater uses water coming through hoses to heat the air. If the thermostat is stuck, the water in the hoses does not get hot. it also explains why you're overheating. be sure to top off coolant after you fix the problem.

How can you tell when your hot water heater isn't working properly?
The simplest thing is that there isn't any hot water! You can check at the hot water heater as well as at the faucets. Check the heater itself and make sure it isn't leaking. If it is a gas heater, make sure the pilot light is on! If it is an electric water heater, make sure the breaker isn't blown and reset if necessary. If all else fails, time to call a plumber, unless you like the challenge of replacing it yourself, which isn't as daunting a task as you may think!
