Why is there not enough hot water from my State Water Heaters 184748-001 Water Heater?

  Emma MartinezJul 30, 2025
  There could be several reasons why you're not getting enough hot water. The power supply to the heater might not be on, so ensure the disconnect switch is on, or contact an electrician. The thermostat could be set too low, so refer to temperature regulation. The heater might be undersized, in which case you should reduce hot water use. If the incoming water is unusually cold, especially in winter, allow more time for the heater to reheat the water. There might also be leaking hot water from pipes or fixtures, so have a plumber check and repair any leaks. Finally, the high-temperature limit switch might be activated, so contact your dealer to determine the cause and refer to temperature regulation.

How to stop my State Water Heaters 184748-001 temperature and pressure relief valve from leaking?
- T
  Travis PaulAug 9, 2025
  A leaking temperature and pressure relief valve can be due to thermal expansion in a closed water system. To resolve this, install a thermal expansion tank and do not plug the T&P valve. It could also be caused by an improperly seated valve, so check the relief valve for proper operation, making sure not to plug the T&P valve.

  Jaclyn ObrienAug 19, 2025
  Strange sounds could be due to scale accumulation on the elements, in which case you should contact your dealer to clean or replace the elements. It could also be caused by sediment build-up on the tank bottom; drain and flush the heater thoroughly, then refill.

What to do if my State Water Heaters 184748-001 Water Heater has hot water odors?
- P
  Patricia WilliamsAug 25, 2025
  Hot water odors can arise from a high sulfate or mineral content in the water supply. In this case, drain and flush the heater thoroughly, then refill it. Another cause might be bacteria in the water supply, which can be resolved by chlorinating the water supply.
