{Latoya}: Gary, I think the hot water heater is busted; I can't get any hot water out of this faucet to do the dishes!
{Gary}: Latoya, we don't have a 'hot water heater' -- we might have a hot water cooler, a water heater, or a hot water tank, but no hot water heater! Which of those do you want me to check?
