GE Profile Performance 50 gallon water heater, was installed prior to taking possession of the home.Serves a basement apartment that gets less than a full family use. Recently noticed a rattle when the water runs, stops immediately when the water stops flowing. Rattles when a faucet is opened so it seems any flow triggers it.
- appears to be coming from the top of the heater
- rattle is like a thin metal piece is moving around in a pipe
- no apparent change in slow rate - shower with no restrictor still comes on hard
- located in Queen Anne, Seattle WA - so city water
Google turns up nothing nor does this forum.
Any ideas? Does it predict upcoming failure?
Thanks for anything!
