No hot water

I have an Atwood GC6AA water heater. I have selected the ELECTRIC switch, but not getting any hot water (I waited an hour). I opened the water heater vent, and there is a single amber light and a slight humming sound. After about 5 minutes, the "DSI-FLT" light on the control panel lights up. I've tried using propane, but same result. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ok, it is all Greek to me.

Is there some basic troublehooting a complete novice can try I've got a hammer with me, and can try hitting it. :)

I checked the 5Amp fuse in the water heater and it appears fine...that's the level of my abilities

Thanks!

2017 year combo gas/electric Atwood uses a common DC source (fused) to both electric & gas on-off switches
From the switch DC goes to circuit bd...White wire/Electric & Orange wire/gas

Then electric & gas use same/common components....circuit bd, thermal fuse, t-stat, ECO

Electric uses DC to trigger the electric via DC/AC Relay

So need to follow DC Voltage thru circuits to find where it isn't...
