Water heater, electric heater not working
Boy I hope this is the last snafu with our new trailer. The electric side of the water heater does not work. Anything to check besides a new element? It's a suburban sw6de I think is the model. P...

here is a schematic for a suburban with the 12VDC remote switch for the 120V element. apparently it is model SWDEL
this should help those with a 12VDC switch inside the trailer. the schematics seem somewhat confusing and contradictory at first, but then I think what the show is the first schematic shows the 12V wiring, relay, spark ignitor section of the WH and the second shows the 120V wiring side.
Note the relay shown in both schematics. that's the new piece showing how the 12V circuit interfaces and controls the 120V to the WH electric element showing the 12V and 120V sides of the relay. my WH in my home built toy hauler has on the 120V w/o the relay section, while my outback has what is shown below with a relay.
