VerifiedHi: Thank you for coming to Just Answer with your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX perhaps I can assist you with this issue.
That is usually a sign that the bypass on the back of the water heater is in the wrong position and allowing cold water to mix into the hot. Check that first. Let me know if you have one or two or three valves. It can be a bad thermostat, but that is pretty rare.
Hope that proves helpful here. Please get back to me if you need more as all follow ups are included in our fee.
