Scale settles on the lower element, so it fails first in hard-water areas and the household then runs out of hot water faster than before while still getting hot water briefly.
Owners should not open the element panels. The circuit is high current and the tank is full of hot water – a technician isolates the breaker, drains as required and replaces the element and thermostat together.
