I recently in the past few days bought a new hot water tank, I went from a 38 gallon to a 40 gallon tank. On the past tank we replaced pretty much everything and it just stayed cold. So with this new hot water tank it is a ge 40 gallon tank. No other choice at our Home town Home Depot. Hooked it up listened to it fill with cold when it got done flipped the hot water heater switch and I don't hear a thing. Wires are not crossed. However I'm getting a cold water leak coming out of my knob in the tub. Took the knobs off replaced them with new ones still leaking, but now its leaking through the faucet in the tub, no matter what I do I cannot seem to get this leak to stop. Its a t-bar in the back of the wall attached to the tub. I'm not sure if its my electrical or if its the leak. Checking electrical first thing tomorrow morning. I have a breaker box, but also an additional breaker attached directly to the hot water tank as well. The tank is set at 135 degrees and have left it sit for hours and still no hot water its just luke warm and then goes back to cold. The pipes are not getting warm into the tank as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a plumber just a regular guy trying to warm up my families water and this is just getting frustrating.
