Why Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?

If the reset button doesn’t restore hot water, the likely causes are a failed thermostat or heating element (electric), an ignition or gas-supply issue (gas), or heavy sediment/scale restricting heat transfer. Error codes need pro diagnostics. Paul The Plumber services Nashua and Manchester homes and handles descaling, flushing, and part replacement with straightforward pricing and a 2-year parts and labor warranty on services.

Quick checks:

  • Verify the breaker and power switch.
  • Confirm gas valve is open and venting is clear.
  • Listen for burner/igniter activity.
  • Note any error codes.
