It's probably either turned off or set to 'vacation' mode, which means it isn't heating the water. Once the tank is set correctly, you'll have to wait 20 minutes to an hour before the tank can heat the water to its correct temperature, depending on the age and type of hot water heater.
Why is there hot water dripping from the faucet?
Hot water is dripping from the faucet because the water heater is set at a high temperature, causing the water in the pipes to be hot and drip out when the faucet is turned on.
How does a water heater work?
"A water heater stores water in a tank and heats the water with a flame at the bottom. The hot water rises to the top of the tank, while the colder water falls to the bottom near the heat source." A water heater is simply a tank of water with a heat source at the bottom. It can be set to a certain temperature and is dispersed throughout the home through the water infrastructure.

Connect the cold water inlet pipe to the tank. Install a pressure relief valve to prevent over-pressurization. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Turn on the power and set the temperature to a safe level. Regularly maintain and inspect the tank for optimal performance.
Why is my hot water heater running even when I'm not using any hot water?
Your hot water heater may be running even when you're not using hot water because it is working to maintain the set temperature of the water in the tank. This is a normal function of the heater to ensure that hot water is readily available when you need it.
What is the princinple of electric water heater?
On a 240 volt hot water tank there is only one of the two elements on at any one time. The incoming cold water is taken to the bottom of the tank through a pipe inside the tank. When the lower thermostat senses the cold water, the lower element turns on. As you draw hot water from the top of the tank the cooler water from the bottom will rise. When the top thermostat senses the cool water it shuts off the bottom element and turns on the top element. When this water is heated to the tank set point it shuts off and the lower element turns on to heat the rest of the water. When the total tank temperature is at the set point all elements turn off. By using this type of procedure there is always hot water at the top of the tank for use.
Why does my hot water heater smell like sewage?
A sewage smell coming from your hot water heater could be caused by bacteria growing in the tank, which can produce a foul odor.
