50 gallon electric Bradford White Model M250T6DS-INCWW. 6 mos. old in new house.
Had it set just above HOT and the water was a too hot to hold my hands under full hot faucet. For 6 months it worked great for a nice long shower.
A week ago the power went out for 7 hours during a snow storm and since then water is not as hot as it used to be - I can comfortably hold hands under full hot faucet.
Don't see a reset button anywhere. Drained off two gallons from bottom of tank and saw no sediment.
Maybe the power outage was a coincidence but the fact remains the water temp has dropped. Any ideas why?
