Aqua Hot

Well, Aqua Hot has a no heat by electric issue. Took the cover off and using the owner manual trouble shot the issue.

A ground wire broken off the relay terminal. After trying to remove three other connections two broke off.

Ordered a new relay from Aqua Hot in Colorado a week ago. Part arrived today, an entirely different plug in relay, so I called and of course they shipped the wrong one to me.

Now I wait another 3-4 days for the right one to arrive. It never fails, at least I am not going camping again till April.....



Received the correct relay from Aqua Hot today and also a newer more robust relay from Roger Berke. I used the one from Aqua Hot now and kept the newer relay for later if I need it. Installed the new relay and continued with the rest of the troubleshooting for the electric side of operation.

!2 volt and 120 volt checks were all accomplished with zero defects. Now I have a like new Aqua Hot once again. I am sure glad I have been some type of a mechanic all my life. Sure saves me a lot of labor dollars. It really has paid off during my life time.

    Seems like A Hot is bad about sending the wrong part as you are not the first one on here to have that happen. What model A Hot do you have?
    I pity anyone with a MH that has to take it to a dealer to get most things worked on, even if the dealer is close by.
    Glad you got it fixed and now have a spare part. I carry lots of spares BUT I need to make a list of what and where I put them as this getting old... I'll leave it at that.
