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

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.

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

The hot water usage may exceed the opacity of the water heater. If so, wait for water heater to recover aher abnormal

demand. Also examine pipes and faucet's for possible water leaks.

If you can not determine the problem, then call the Sears

Service Department.
