What to do when the Water Heater goes out?????

Yes, ours went out this week end. Long story short, I turned on the electric (and) the gas with no water in the tank. I'm 100% positive the electric element is fried, and it won't fire on gas any more...

I think theres a safety reset some where around the water heater, might check. and check lowes for a removal tool.


I agree on the safety thermo or reset button on the board.
The gas part of the water heater should still work once the WH is filled.


Or a bad check valve. Common for use of winterizing. If it fails all water bypasses the hot water heater. Happened to us when we had full hook ups. I ended up gutting the valve as a stop gap to get hot water.
