Also, on the upper left there is a black plastic cover with two rubber "plugs". The one on the left is for 120vac. This is to reset the T/S. Press the rubber plug and try the heater.

There you go!
The Suburban uses 2 sets of t-stats.
Left side is 120V AC set. The High temp t-stat (top) has a reset.
Right side is 12V DC set. The High temp t-stat has a reset.
IF tripped no electric (or propane depending on which one tripped)
IF tripped......why?
The high temp one trips when water temp exceeds 180*F which means the 'normal' t-stat didn't open at 130*F.
IF tripped...probably need to replace the set.
If element is bad...AC circuit breaker would trip or just not heat, depends on if it shorted or just burnt out.
