El calentador de agua no funciona
No hot water can be a tripped breaker, a failed element, a gas-control issue, or a tank at end of life. Replacement is often permitted work. This page does not tell you to replace a unit.
Gas odor is a leak emergency — leave and call the gas utility's emergency number, not a directory listing. Scalding and tank leaks are also hazards.
El detalle operativo de esta página permanece alineado con la versión en inglés para no inventar un diagnóstico. No es una urgencia fabricada ni un despacho de técnicos.
Qué suele seguir
- Check the breaker or the gas supply if you know how to do that safely.
- Look for water at the base of the tank.
- Call a licensed plumber and say whether the unit is electric or gas.
Cuándo llamar a un profesional: Call if there is no hot water after basic breaker/pilot checks, if the tank is leaking, or if you smell gas (after leaving, via the utility).
