DIY water heater repair is not recommended — gas and electric water heaters involve combustion, electrical, and pressurized water systems that are dangerous to work on without training. Improper DIY repairs are a leading cause of carbon monoxide poisoning, electrical shock, gas explosions, and total water-heater floods.
Why call a professional
- Gas leaks and CO risk on gas units
- Electric shock on 240V electric units
- Pressurized hot-water hazard during disassembly
- Warranty voided by DIY work
