I have the same problem on a 55H71 and I will have to replace all 3 anode wires , remove old sealant and reseal. This unit makes a loud pop before going out. Look carefully around the anode cap for disturbed dust or a track in the dust around the cap. If you can definitely find the bad wire and cap you won't need to replace all three. This unit was at another shop and all the dust was disturbed so I could not find the bad wire.
