Turn down the temperature dial
turn down ur thermostat- should be on front of unit
you can cut the temp down at the site of water heater control pat ray, Denham springs La,
Most have a thermostat dial for setting temps. Try setting it lower. If that will not work, you will probably have to call a plumber or replace the hot water heater..
Yes, you should have a thermostat - do you see it? Good luck!
There should be a regulating dial on the main heating unit. It will take a day or two to notice the correct temp after changing the setting on an older unit. ( Newer units heat the water as its used i believe. Older units keep a quantity sitting at the selected temp.)
Turn down the thermostat!
There is usually a knob on the water heater to set the temp lower.
Hi there, your water heater should have a temperature dial or knob somewhere that you can turn down.
