Water heater ELB test button does not work. Please advise how to handle. [PH]
We checked into the Airbnb apartment in Manila that seems to be recently renovated: film on the TV screen, transport bolts in the washing machine, kitchenware not assembled, paper holder bolted upside down, etc. I am fine with that and do not have a problem flipping the paper holder around.
However, I noticed that the ELB test button on the water heater does absolutely nothing. Now, it's not just a minor inconvenience, but is a safety concern, especially given the patterns of other cut corners.
We genuinely do not feel safe taking hot shower here. At the same time, I do not expect the host to genuinely understand the problem. The water is flowing, it's hot, installed by an electrician. What button? What ELB? "It's OK, sir".
Am I being picky? What approach would you suggest to address this with the host? Can I expect Airbnb to recognize the issue and help?
