With an electric heater, lukewarm water usually means the lower element has failed, while no hot water at all points at the upper element or the reset. A reset that keeps tripping is a warning rather than a nuisance and must be investigated.
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, tests the elements and thermostats, and checks for scale.
