Well here it is.....

Lite the propane heater and it started and I kept busy with other projects and a noticed the heater had stopped a short while after.
tried to re lite and noticed that the red light at the switch over the sink was not on.....
Have i killed the heater or is there a fuse or reset switch I am not seeing ???

Need your help on this one folks

Thanks

The red lighted switch in both of mine is only on when the heater is lighting. Once the heater is lit and operating the light goes out.

Mine has a reset button behind a round piece of rubber up and to the left of the drain plug. Also mine is a Suburban water heater

Check water coming out of tank....is it hot?

If really hot then high temp t-stat may have operated (opened) because normal t-stat failed

May be able to reset by pushing small button on t-stat (after temp has cooled off)

What Brand/Model?
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Start with the simple first:
Make sure the water heater tank has water in it.
Make sure the propane line does not have air in it...bleed the line by lighting the kitchen stove.

Red light would come on if water heater faulted for some reason.
Are you sure it quit working or got up to temperature and the thermostat shut it down?
