I have a Rheem double element 50 gallon hot water heater with therm-o-disc thermostats. IT has worked fine in the past. All of a sudden I am running out of hot water before I finsih my shower. Whats wrong?

Had the same problem myself about a week and half ago. Lower element was burnt out in tank. Should have it looked at soon.

Wouldn’t you feel kind of foolish replacing one now and THEN in 4-6 weeks having to replace the oth
