Water Heater
OK I need some help with the electric and propane switch . Where do I start to check why the switch doesn't light up. First of all the electric water heater is working just fine except for the light. ...

Which WH you have depends on how light is wired
Light is a 'FAULT' light
Comes on if:
Propane fails to light off and PROVE it lit.
Usually 3 tries to light & prove then WH locks out and fault light comes on.
(ATWOOD & SUBURBAN BRANDS)
Fault light can also be illuminated if HIGH Temp T-stat opens/trips either on electric or propane (ATWOOD BRAND)
Light can also come on initially when propane 1st turned on and then goes out when flame lights & proves........will then come back on if fault happens (SUBURBAN BRAND)
Both electric or propane will only come back on after water temp has cooled below 110*F (ATWOOD) or 100*F (SUBURBAN)
Fault Light when illuminated (and lock out of WH) has to be reset by turning ON/OFF Switch OFF then back ON
