Why is there not enough or no hot water in my Kenmore 153.582400 Water Heater?
- S
  Samuel RodriguezAug 2, 2025
  Several factors can cause a lack of hot water. First, ensure the cold water supply valve is completely open and that the electrical supply to your water heater is turned 'ON'. Check for any loose or blown fuses in the water heater circuit, and make sure the disconnect switch, if present, is in the 'ON' position. Verify that the electric service to your house hasn't been interrupted. Also, confirm that the thermostat is set to the desired temperature. During very cold weather, the incoming water will be colder, and the hot water usage may exceed the water heater's capacity. If you recently experienced very hot water followed by no hot water, the high-temperature shut-off system may be the cause.

What to do if my Kenmore Water Heater T&P valve is dripping?
- C
  Christopher FosterAug 14, 2025
  A dripping T&P valve on your Kenmore Water Heater can be due to several reasons. It may be caused by excessive water pressure, which can be resolved by using a pressure-reducing valve and a pressure relief valve. Another cause could be a closed system. Also, the T&P valve itself might be defective and need replacement.
