Just an added fyi here. We thought our hot water line froze the other day. Turned out the annode was burned up......cold water ran, ansolutely no water in the hot water. :)

Anode rod is just a sacrificial rod used to protect Suburban water heater steel tank from rusting out,
Has NOTHING to do with heating of water
Electric heat element.......if burnt out no heating BUT propane should still heat water.
I wondered if it might be empty (no cold water in). I hit the purge valve and hot water flushes out... A good sign I presume?
