   • Heating element
2. Inconsistent Water Temperature

   Faulty water temperature can be caused by;

   • sediment buildup in the tank
   • failing heating element
3. Leaking Water

   Leaks occur due to;

   • Corroded tank
   • Faulty plumbing connections
   • Damaged drain valve
4. Strange Noises:

   Banging, popping, or humming sounds may indicate;

   • Sediment buildup on the heating elements
   • Internal issues
5. Discolored Water:

   Rusty or cloudy water can be a sign of;

   • Corrosion inside the tank
   • The presence of sediment
