Electric heaters recover more slowly than gas, so a large household draining the tank has to wait. That is capacity rather than a fault, and it is worth confirming before a service call.
Anode rod replacement is the single best way to extend tank life in hard water, and it is a routine technician job. Owners can flush sediment if the drain valve cooperates, but a seized valve is best left rather than forced.
