Problems with a Whirlpool Water Heater
This is a common problem with Whirlpool heaters. The lower element is probably not working correctly, or the temperature is accidentally set too low on the thermostat itself. It is also possible that sediment in the pipes or a faulty dip tube can cool the water. In this case, cold water entering the tank and hot water kept in the tank mix too freely, lowering the overall temperature. Lack of insulation can cause similar problems.
