Why Is My Water Heater Not Heating Up Despite Resetting the Button?
Pressing the reset button won’t restore hot water if an underlying fault remains. Likely issues include a blown-out pilot light, excess sediment in the tank, faulty wiring or loose connections, poor ventilation, or incorrect temperature settings. We serve Brownsburg, Indianapolis, and nearby with 24/7 emergency help and same-day service when possible.
Quick checks:
- Confirm the temperature setting is correct.
- Verify the pilot light is lit.
- Listen for popping/boiling noises that suggest sediment.
- If you see leaks or wiring damage, stop and call a pro.
