Water Heater Woes
I am having a problem with my SW6DE Suburban water heater. It runs fine on electric. Using the electric mode, the water comes up to temperature (hot, but not scalding at the kitchen faucet) as usual...

Old-Biscuit,
Yes, I did check the 12V DC at the gas valve. Per your suggestion, I will check to see if I can detect gas odor with the gas supply on and the gas switch to the water heater off. Not sure why the voltage would be zero at the valve if the t-stat is the cause of the problem. As you suggest, the sniff test should help determine if the valve is at fault.
Thanks for your response to my inquiry.
