Thanks, here is the photo (I think it's an old Suburban DSI type, am I right?):
Anyone recognize it from around 1992?
I have read elsewhere that the solonoids often go bad, especially the one closest to the tank. Either drippage onto it from the TPR valve or temp cycling does it. They said to remove the leads and measure resistance, should be around 40ohms. Solonoids, maybe, could be replaced by a tech, or more likely the whole valve. Probably would be be better replacing the whole heater, given its appearance, if we can't get it working.
Thanks,
Chuck
