Travis C. Williams here, there's quite a few reasons. #1 You could have a sediment build up, just turn off power to your water heater and hook a garden hose to the drain valve, and open it up, drain it completely. If there's alot of particles coming out, close drain valve let it fill back up, and open again, repeat until clean. (VERY IMPORTANT) Once finished give the water heater an hour or so to fill back up, and go to bath tub, and turn on the hot water if water starts coming out the way its suppose to, it's full, you can turn your breaker to the water heater back on now. IF YOU TURN THE POWER ON BEFORE THE TANKS FULL, YOU CAN AND MOST LIKELY WILL BURN UP YOUR HEATING ELEMENTS. #2 You could have tripped breaker going to the water heater, untrip it the same way you do anyother breaker. #3 Heating Elements and/or Thermostat could be bad, to check first of all you need a multimeter that can test OHMS and Continuity, first check where the wires come in to the water heater coming from your breaker box, if you're not getting a full 240volts, you may need to replace the breakers. Now that you've checked that now TURN THE POWER OFF TO THE HEATER, and remove access panel. Once you have found the thermostat look for the little red button, if it's pushed out, that means the thermostat is tripped, push it in, and restore power with access panel still off, if the button just keeps popping back out, then you need a new thermostat. Now to test the thermostat and same for heating element, MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF AGAIN, then remove 1 of the wires from the thermostat, and set the multimeter to OHMS, and then take 1 of the probes on the multimeter and stick it on the first screw (the one you removed wire from), hold it there, and then take other probe and touch it to all the other connections. If you multimeter is reading .1 that means the heating element or thermostat is good, if your multimeter is reading .003 that is no good it means the circuit is closed and you'll have to replace the thermostat or the element. Hope my answer helped you.

i am looking for a tankless electric water heater?
When looking for a tankless electric water heater, consider factors such as the unit's flow rate, energy efficiency, and installation requirements. Look for a model with a high flow rate to ensure an adequate supply of hot water for your needs. Additionally, choose a water heater with a high energy efficiency rating to save on electricity costs in the long run. Lastly, ensure that the unit's installation requirements align with your existing electrical setup to avoid any complications during installation.
What are the key features and specifications of the Rheem RTEX-13 electric tankless water heater?
The Rheem RTEX-13 electric tankless water heater has a compact design, can provide hot water on demand, and is energy efficient. It has a maximum flow rate of 4.0 gallons per minute and requires a 240-volt electrical connection.
Why would water not flow though the heater coil?
Heater core plugged? Heater core airbound? Thermostat not opening to allow coolant flow?
What is the function of the Navien flow sensor in the Navien water heater system?
The Navien flow sensor in the Navien water heater system detects the flow of water through the system. It helps the water heater regulate the temperature and ensure efficient operation by activating the heating elements only when water is flowing.
How can you visually determine if there is ample air flow across a duct-mounted electric heater?
To visually determine if there is enough air flow across a duct mounted electric heater, you should tape a piece of cardboard to it. A small piece that can flutter in the flow of the air. If it moves wildly, there is enough air.
What size pipe is recommended for the hot and cold valves on a electric hot water heater?
Typically, hot water heater inlet and outlet pipes are 3/4 inch in diameter for optimal water flow. It is recommended to confirm the manufacturer's specifications for your specific model to ensure proper sizing.
Can a bad water pump effect the heater?
Yes, coolant has to flow correctly for the heater to function.
How do I shut off the water to the water heater?
To shut off the water to the water heater, locate the shut-off valve on the cold water supply line leading to the heater. Turn the valve clockwise to close it and stop the flow of water to the heater.
What is the purpose of the water heater ball valve and how does it function in the overall operation of a water heater system?
The purpose of the water heater ball valve is to control the flow of water into and out of the water heater. It functions by using a spherical ball with a hole in it to regulate the flow of water through the valve. This valve is essential in the overall operation of a water heater system as it allows for the proper filling and draining of the tank, as well as for maintenance and repairs.
