Lukewarm water that never gets hot is a classic heating element or thermostat problem. Here is the Frederick guide.
The electric case
One failed element means the tank only heats partway.
The thermostat
A thermostat set too low or failing limits the temperature.
The gas case
A weak burner or a failing gas control also produces warm, not hot, water.
