A water heater may stop providing hot water because of a power or fuel supply issue, a control problem, sediment buildup, a failed component or a leak. The correct checks depend on whether the unit is electric, gas or tankless. Follow the manufacturer’s safety guidance and do not remove covers or work on gas or electrical components yourself. If you smell gas, leave the area and contact emergency services or your gas utility from a safe location. Water around the heater, unusual sounds or repeated temperature changes should be assessed. A qualified technician can inspect the unit, explain whether repair or replacement is appropriate and discuss maintenance. Have the model information available if it is easy to access safely.
