Check to see if the last owner kept the extended warranty up on the water
heater. Sears loves to call up every couple years and talk you into
extending the warranty on what you have purchased.

Plan B: Get a new one.

In 1980 my elec water heater died; I called Sears, they were out the next
day (door unlocked, I was at work) and replaced it, no problem. The only
problem was they signed me up unasked for the super duper extended warranty. I
called and cancelled it. What a rotten deal that would have been.

The unwarranted water heater is still going strong. The sulphur smell ended
after a year, after the anode rod burned through I guess.
