water heater

suburbans are notorious for doing that. my tech came to my house for that reason and he wiggled a wire and the unit took right off. it was a connection thing

For propane....it does not even attempt to light....no clicks!!! Checked all connections and still nothing. No red light comes for the switch ib the control panel. What a pain to get to the control board....take panel off inside the basement....wiggle your way in behind the furnace to get to the back of the water heater....geez.......what a design that is!!

That is NOT fault of Suburban.that is directly due to RV MFGs installation and not propviding access.
Thank them.

Have you done ANY testing on where you have DC and where you DON'T?

Could be No DC to Switch
Could be bad switch
Could be wire nut problem in DC Junction Box
Could be bad T-stats..or wiring on t-stats
Could be connection to circuit board

Simple voltmeter and follow the DC circuit

All up and running

x2 Sharing solutions is as important as sharing problems.

What happened was....I had the electric portion on....and the water was to hot to make the propane fire up. Run the waterthru the taps till I used a lot of hot water which then got cool enough to let the propane fire up. Dumb me!!!

BTDT. Thanks for the follow-up.

Thanks for sharing the "solution". I'll file that one away in the data banks. Hopefully I can remember it if ever needed.

LOL! Glad it was that simple.
