Hot Water Heater Problem
I have a problem running my hot water heater on propane. It will not fire up. A couple of weeks ago I was doing some painting on my RV cover and heard my hot water heater trying to start up. I had no water in the water heater tank. I don't know how the HTR switch got turned on to make it run on propane. Both the electric and propane switches were supposed to be off. I turned the HTR switch off when I found that it was on and didn't think anything else about it. Well, this week we have taken a short trip and I turned the electric breaker on after filling the water heater with water. There is one more of us on this trip than usually goes with us so I thought I would turn on the gas switch to get a little faster recovery on the water heater; but, it will ot fire up on gas. The electric part works fine. Do you think the control unit on the water heater has gone bad from cycling on and off, or is there something else I can check to try to get the gas to fire up? Thanks for any help I can get.
