Hello. I have a 1996 Monaco Dynasty that has a Suburban hot water heater. While on my last outing I was plugged into 30 amp shore power. I used my hot water for a few days on electric and then it stopped working. At my house I found that the black wire attached to the element had burned out whereby there was a burn mark on the insulation that covered the element. Question is where does this black wire go to from the element? Why might it have burned out the way it did? How can I get to the end of the black wire to change it? Also, why did the breaker not trip when the black wire fried? Thank you in advance.
The black wire is the hot wire;; It comes from the thermostat;;
just change the end if u have enough wire;; why it burned off?/ maybe it was a bad connection at the element or a bad element causing
high resistance and over heating the wire
the breaker not tripping? most likely the element failed or wire burned off before it got enough resistance to pop the breaker
