I had a similar problem. It was cooler at the same spot I position the
handle. I discovered the wife reduced the temp on the water heater. Damn
woman.



Just remembered something.

After many years of use I had to turn the heat setting up slightly
because the heater was not getting quite as hot. Might have been a build
up of calcium on the inside. It only needed a slight increase and I
think I still have it a bit below the recommended "normal" setting.
