The water in the bathroom gets extremely hot for about 2 mins and then
there is no more hot
water. I think there is something definitely wrong with the water
heater. The funny thing is that its only a year old! Any suggestions???

The problem only exists in the bathroom? Not the kitchen sink?

Is it a problem in the bathroom sink AND the shower, or just one of them?

Where you see the problem, do you have single handle faucet(s), or two
knobs, one for hot and one for cold?

Is it electric,if it is maybe only the top element works, check its
setting.

But only in the bathroom? I forgot to ask the OP if there are separate water
heaters for kitchen and bathroom.

I would normally say dip tube or if electric, lower element, but ONLY in
the bath?? How about getting back to us and tell us some more details, like
is it a problem elsewhere? Is it only one faucet in the bath? etc.

What DOES happen if you have a temp-regulating bathtub valve,
and swap the hot and cold?

I think you end up getting dirty instead of clean, and afterward, the towel
makes you wetter.

you get positive feedback instead of negative and the valve will go to
either full cold or full hot as you pass the setpoint.

Positive feedback? Negative feedback?

He was talking about the shower, not eBay....

Some people don't know what "positive" and "negative" mean. Negative
feedback is used in more places than positive. Even in AGC (Automatic
Gain Control) in radios.
