My heater used to work great...
Now the air it blows is cold-room temperature at best if i turn it off for a minute and turn it back on i get hot air for a second and then it goes cold again... any ideas? possible causes and solutions? |

Does the water Temp gauge reach the middle quickly or not?
If not, probably thermostat gone. That's pretty common.... -------------------- |

That's pretty common.... no, its actually been running cold lately. so that sounds like the thermostat? its been getting up to around 1/3 at the most, been around 1/4 most of the time though So your thinking the thermostat is stuck open and the water isnt getting hot enough? where is our thermostat located?
