Unmarked Switches

Just picked up our 2021 3855BR with Legacy Package. Can anyone help with these unmarked switches? I think they are tank heaters but not sure they all are?

That's odd. Our switches for the tank heaters light up blue when on. I was told that if the switch was on and the blue light was not, that the tank heater pad was not working. Maybe that was not true?

looks like they forgot to mark them at the factory. Someone wasnt checking their installation checklist.

My 2012 SOB switches lit up also, My 2017 3731 Legacy, they don't have that feature

I have the same issue in our 2020 3761FL and have not gotten an answer. I’ll guess they are tank heaters too. We also had black and gray tank labels mixed up. Not a good year to buy when Covid restricted dealers from giving tours and plant clearly was not taking their tine

I have a 2020 3120rl. Factory customers service told me they don’t mark the switches any longer. I ask to speak to someone else and no dice. They were not very helpful to say the least so I don’t call them anymore. I figured out the lights on the bottom row and I think the upper 3 switches go to the tank heaters but have no idea which one goes to which tank. Good luck!

They've been mixing up the black/grey tank labels for years. Can't blame Covid for that one.

Questions about the tank heaters. I have 3 'lit' switches and the questions are: 1) does the 'lit' switch just enable the heater pad and the thermostat then controls 'on/off'? 2) I have 3 switches and 4 tanks. Understand the kitchen tank does not have a pad but heated with the furnace dump to basement(?). But which switch goes to which tank, i.e. 'left to right' is 'fore to aft'? Or random?
