Now fixed.
So, one of the first things I had checked was to see if the beaker had tripped. I *thought* I new what a tripped one looked like....it would be "flipped." Right? Apparently not.
After hearing my DW ask repeatedly if I checked the breaker (and I kept saying "Yes, I'm not a complete fool, I know if a breaker has tripped,") I went ahead and manully flipped and reset the one for the water heater.
Bingo, 5 minutes later we have hot water.
Lesson learned.... Wife is always right.
Well you STILL have a problem. The Water Heater does NOT require 120 volts to operate.
1. NO 120 to the Water heater will NOT cause any fault. It just will not HEAT at all. That is your only indication it is not working on 120
2. The LP system does NOT require 120 also and you stated it did not work, It should have regardless of the 120 problem.
3. You have a 2017. There are a LARGE number of Atwood Water Heaters that have faulty intermittent water heater control modules. I would take it back to the dealer and have them replace the module.
4. The Humming/buzzing sound is NORMAL on Atwood Water Heater Modules. On 120 you can hear it. On LP gas, the roar of the flame hides the buzzing. It only makes the noise when the Heater is Heating. Doug
