Complete loss of hot water is one of the most urgent water heater problems. For electric water heaters, the most common causes are failed heating elements, tripped circuit breakers, or faulty thermostats. Electric water heaters typically have two heating elements—upper and lower—and if both fail, you'll have no hot water at all. If only the upper element fails, you may have a small amount of hot water but not enough for a shower. Thermostat failures prevent the heating elements from activating, and power supply issues like tripped breakers or blown fuses cut power completely.
