Can't see how 120 AC would be suspect....separate junction box, separate wiring runs etc.

I have to admit some convoluted reasoning there- simply because I have seen weirder things happen. My (flawed) thinking involves a bad ground, with enough leakage from the element to raise the water heater ground enough to backfeed through the gas valve to a ground through the module.

Theoretically, it could happen- in the real world, the water heater is grounded through the copper LP line, at least.

Wouldn't element need to be energized for that to even remotely happen :H

IF you need to replace solenoids..........HERE


AND how does Dougrainer's posts show up when not originally there and then poof there they are :H
