Questions and answers
if getting no hot water what is wrong
If there is no hot water from a GSW Signature Series Electric water heater, but the unit is functioning properly, one possible issue could be incorrect water mixing. The document notes that 79% of the shower water is hot (120°F), and improper mixing or a misunderstanding of water temperature mixing can lead to a "not enough hot water" complaint even when the water heater is working correctly. Therefore, the issue might not be the heater itself but how the hot and cold water are combined.
