Hello Forum Members -
About a week ago our hot water heater stopped heating water, or at least heating it to an acceptable temperature. It was in our home when we purchased it ten years ago. We replaced the thermo couple and cranked the thermostat all the way to HOT. All we got was lukewarm water - same as before. It wasn't until two nights ago that we noticed while taking a lukewarm shower that if the bathroom faucet or the kitchen faucet is in use while the shower is running the water becomes hot and we can can somewhat regulate the hot water by turning either the kitchen or bathroom faucet to either full blast or a trickle.
Any idea what is going on? Any insight and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gemma and Murray
