Atwood water heater reset switch?
Ok, I feel dumb, but need some help.
I have an Atwood water heater, model GCH10A-4E (10 gal, gas/electric) probably 2004 vintage (original with RV.)
Works fine on propane, won't heat on electric. Wall Red switch lights but water stays cold.
I've read that there is a reset switch for the electric side which will pop if too hot with no water in tank. I've been all over the heater, including the back side removing the cover where the electric element is located, but cannot locate the button or anything that looks like one.
I know it's possible the heating element has failed and I'll have to replace it, but wanted to try to find this switch first. Probably will get out the multimeter and check power etc but wanted to start with the simplest things first. Have checked 120v breakers etc.
Do only certain models/years have the ECO switch? Am I looking in the wrong spot? Or is it just too small/subtle that I'm missing it?
Thanks for any advice...
