ATWOOD Water heater

[yves1956]

My Rv is an Holiday Rambler 2003 Admiral SE

I have a 10 gallons Atwood water heater gas and electric located underneath the sink in the kitchen. The water heater is plugged on a 110 ac outlet. There is no current to the outlet when I put the switch on on the main pannel. The breaker and the fuse are ok (in the bedroom) I can not find the problem somebody got an answer.

The gas is working fine for the water heater.

OK. Any chance there was power to the element when there was no water in the tank. An element lasts a matter of seconds in this situation.

If I use an extension and another outlet the water heater works

The switch itself that turns the water heater on to 120 volts has two plug in wires connected to it. Since these are just slip on connectors, it might be a good idea to check to make sure that both wires are still connected.

I've checked and the connections are good

How did you check the breakers?
What type of shore power connection?
Is your rig 30 or 50 amp?
Are you using an adapter?

It's not on a GFCI and I checked the breakers.

The receptacle should be hot all the time from the 120 volt AC power distribution panel.
Some rigs have this receptacle ran through a GFCI receptacle. Locate your GFCI receptacles and check to see if one is tripped.
Have you reset your circuit breakers? Turn off all circuit breakers applying light pressure toward off. Then turn on main circuit breaker if equipped, and then each of the branch breakers one at a time.
Get one of the small normally yellow circuit analyzers that plug into the receptacles to identify what is issue.

Your vintage uses 120V AC directly to water heater element.
So if no 120V at outlet circuit breaker is tripped OR GFCI is tripped that feeds that outlet.

IF CB/GFCI tripped could be because WH electric element has shorted.
