WHat Brand/Model is water heater?
Suburban has an OEM electric On/Off switch in outside compartment lower left corner
If you have an RV MFG added switch inside for electric BOTH switches have to be ON for the 120V AC element to heat the water
Should also be a switch for the Propane.....with a fault light
Turn propane switch ON ...light comes on then goes out when propane lights and proves it lit..otherwise light just stays ON
Both electric & propane have their own set of t-stats
IF tripped due to high temp they have to be manually reset
Outside compartment above gas valve...'Push to Reset'
Left reset for 120V AC/electric element
Right reset fo 12V DC/propane
Propane requires 12V DC to function
Electric requires 120V AC to function
If Atwood...got to have 12V DC for electric and/or propane to function
Brand/Model :H
