We have a old Montgomery Ward five-hundred Glass Lined hot water heater Serial # SNN 1177204708 Model # SRM33331A Type Gas NATURAL GAS PRESS IN. W.C. Input BTUH 46,000 MAX SAFE INLET 7.0 RECOVERY GPH 38.6 MIN INLET 5.0 CAP. US GALS 30 MANIFOLD 4.0. It is leaking from around a knob at the bottom and the light keeps going out now. Is there something I could tell my husband to try to fix this problem?
I believe I had the same problem with my water heater about 15 years ago. It started with a small leak, then the tank broke flooding the room. I think it would be be best to replace the unit. Water heaters tipically have a 8-10 year life.
