2.Make sure the electrical supply to your water heater is "ON".

3.Check for loose or blown fuses in your water heater circuit.

Circuit breakers weaken with age and may not handle their rated load and should be replaced.

4.Make certain the disconnect switch, if used, is in the "ON" position.

5.Check to see the electric service to your house has not been interrupted. If this is the case, contact the electric company.

6.Is the thermostat set to the desired temperature? See Temperature Regulation section.

7.If you had experienced very hot water and now no hot water, the problem may be due to the high temperature shut off system. See High Temperature Shut Off System in the Troubleshooting section.

8.During very cold weather, the incoming water will also be colder and it will require a longer time to become heated.

9.The hot water usage may exceed the capacity of the water heater. If so, wait for water heater to recover after abnormal demand. Also examine pipes and faucets for possible water leaks.

10.If you can not determine the problem, then call the Sears Service Department.
