There are a number of possible reasons for your water heater to stop working. If your electric water heater isn't generating hot water, it might be as easy as a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. Another easy issue is an unplugged or defective power cord. If you have a gas water heater, a thermocouple or thermopile could have failed, causing the pilot light to go out. If the pilot light goes out, the gas valve closes to prevent gas from reaching the burners and creating hot water. A failed heating element or thermostat is also a possibility. If the thermostat in a single-element heater fails, there will be no hot water.
