Electric Hot Water Heater not working
Anyone have a quick fix? Electric portion of the hot water heater not working, gas works fine. I cycled the circuit breakers, checked for loose connections, reset everything I can think of......any other possible solutions out there before I take it in??

If you can, check that voltage is getting to the element.

I'm going to ask the obvious...is the small toggle switch in the "on" position on the heater itself?

In addition to the other suggestions, if you have an ohm meter check the heating element. If the electric side was turned on with no water in the water heater the element will overheat and fail. The heating element should have about 9 - 11 ohms resistance - this applies to both Suburban and Dometic.

Just got home from a trip.....it was a loose connection on the igniter. Worked like a champ after a quick fix. Thanks for all the suggestions
