I have been using my electric mode to heat the water heater for the past two months and everything is working fine. Wait I mean everything WAS working fine. After washing the dishes this morning I started to hear a hissing sound from the area of the water heater. I immediately took off the cover panel expecting to see water shooting someplace. Nothing. I went to the breaker panel and turned off the heater breaker and the hissing sound stopped. Turned it back on and it started again. I know the tank is full of water. Did my heating element fail??? Thought I would ask here on the forum because you all seem to be smarter than the dealers service departments. If I need to have the element replaced, I will have them do it under warranty.
