Water Heater Probs

Thanks for all the help. I was able to get it to light and work great. I might not have had the heater full of water when I was trying at the campground and made certain of it being full before I tried to start it again.


By the way if anyone is interested.....Bear Lake State Park on the Utah side of Bear Lake is a great place to camp!! We had a great trip!

What model water heater?

Open the outside cover and look for a reset button. The button on mine is not obvious but it's behind a rubber grommet. It trips when it gets too hot on gas or electric.
I need to replace the thermostat on it to correct the problem. Hope this is your issue.

At campground plugged into power. At home did both gas AND electric to make sure both worked as I knew we would have hook up. I checked the breaker at my converter and all seems good. Where else is there a fuse ? I'm sure it's a lack of power issue I think as I'm not getting that switch to light inside my trailer where I turn it on to start it and then it clicks on when using gas. Not sure where else there might be a fuse. I checked all my wiring up to it and seems normal. But, I'm no electrician.

Thanks for the help if you guys can think of anything else.......

Make sure you have water in the hot water tank!

You're plugged into power at the campground? What mode were you using at home on the water heater (gas/electric/both)? Check those fuses as mentioned.

check the fuses. weather on gas or electric.. it still needs power to work. also check the Battery, may need 12v instead of 110??
