I checked the water heater and the cold is connected to cold and hot
to hot, so unless it was manufactured wrong, that is not the problem.
I would think the service guy would have thought of the dip tube, but
maybe not.

I am glad to know though, that moving it is a waste of time. I guess
I'll be checking on new WH.



Before you bother with a new water heater, try to find out if you still have
a dip tube. Yours may have been made during the time that dip tubes
disintegrated due to a change in the formula for the plastic. Dip tube =
$10, water heater = $200 plus.
