A day after I got home, I went to try it again and it functioned exactly how it is supposed to function. Toggle switch, red light comes on, click-click-click, ignites, then the red light turns off.
Has anyone seen a water heater behave like this?
My daughter has been fighting this since they bought their Jayco about 3 years ago. The dealer has "fiddled" with it 3 times with no real long term success.
My last attempt at fixing it was to remove the thermostats, clean the face of the thermostats and the area that they contact on the tank. It was about 70-95% successful repair. The odd thing is, it seems to light the first time about 95% of the time. Re-lighting is about 70%. They have learned that if the red light is on, turn the switch off for about 1 minutes and then back on. 95% success.
Worst case, carry on of those BBQ lighters. If the igniter does not start it immediately, light the burner with with the BBQ lighter.
