    Economy 7 water heater burn marks

    Economy 7 water heater burn marks

    The water heater is less than 2 years old. I live in a hard water area (London). The water temp varies day to day. Some days it is scalding hot and other days, just warm. It keeps tripping regularly. I have tried adjusting the thermostat. I will definitely call someone tomorrow morning.
