This is unlikely. The resistance is about the same either way and not
different from when I first touched it.

I did noticed something strange. If I turn on the water in my kitchen,
I hear activity inside the tank that sounds like refilling. If I turned
off the water, it stops. Not all faucet in my house will cause this,
but some of them. Why?

Some sort of pressure problem created by the draining?

I did pulled the tempearture pressure relief valve during the draining.
Pulling means pushing that lever until it is 90 % (vertical) right?

Problem...

I went to turn off the cold water and as I turned the valve it kept
turning. It does not seem to be tightening or loosening at all as I
turned the valve either way. I think it is broken for some reason.




you probably tightened it shut, then stripped the handle. id probably try to
put some vicegrips on the stem, and reopen the valve.
