Water heater help
Hey guys. On a recent trip the electric side of our water heater conked out on us. I assumed the element gave up, so I ordered and installed a new one. To no avail. So I dug deeper. This ismamsuburban sw6de 1 - yes, I checked the breaker. 2 - no voltage at the electric element 3 - I did have voltage at the line to the water heater as checked at one of keystone push connectors near the WH. 4 - I checked the switch for continuity and it checked out... Only thing I'm not sure on is the thermal overload buttons. I pushed them - pretty firmly - and had no indication that one was popped or reset. 12v (gas) works perfectly Your thoughts? I admit I'm a couple credits shy of my electricians license...but I think I checked everything correctly.1.6KViews0likes8CommentsRe: Annual Spring Purchase
So far I've just swapped out the guts of my Webber Q (burner tube and regulator assembly). I'm eyeballing some sort of converter upgrade this summer since we bout a seasonal spot. The hell-cheapo on the rig now will run that battery dry in short order if I don't put a better unit in there.228Views0likes0CommentsSeeking an assist - directv
All...thanks in advance for stepping in. My folks just picked up a new Motorhome and at the same time signed up for directv service. My old man, who is normally very handy, meets his match when it comes to electronics. I'm trying to help him get things going....but I don't have direct (dish here) and thus I'm kind of useless regarding direct tv settings. What I know...the rig came with a winegard road trip in-motion antenna. The receiver is an H-24 He is getting his standard definition channels. But zero HD programs coming through. He mentions he's seeing "error found in tuner 1" message in his setup screen. To my ears it sounds like he's not picking up the needed satellite for HD programs. Wondering if any direct users here can offer up the proper details or steps so that I can relay to him what he needs to do.1.5KViews0likes7Comments
