Something else... Turn off your water and let it cool, If you are hooked to city water and sewer just run water through it to cool.. Now shut off the water and pull the drain plug.. Use the manual lever to open the TPR valve.
Once it's drained, if there is any "Nasty Stuff" flush it When finished replace the drain plug, close the TPR and restore water.. You should be good now.
NOTE that if you are in a park with high pressure you MUST use a regulator or this too can "Pop off" the valve (High pressure, it's full name is Temperature Pressure Relief Valve)
If this does not work, Recall that so far you have spent nothing and go follow the advice of those who told you how to replace it. YES they do wear out. Sometimes.
