New 323bhs electric water heater not working

[Cate&Rob]

Yes, the 12V power must be on for the water heater to run on either gas or shore power. The control circuits are all 12V. Same for the fridge.

Nope, no luck. I turnd battery power switch i today while plugged I to shore power then left electric heater on and when I just got back to camper no hot water. Will send email to GD later tonight.

Sorry to hear that the water heater is still not working. When the control circuit board (upper right hand corner behind the exterior cover) is powered up and calling for either gas or electric heat, it has a high pitched hum. If it is quiet, some 12V circuit is not being completed. I would first be looking at the spade connections to the thermal cut outs, to the left of the circuit board or the multi pin connectors to the circuit board.
If you have hot water on gas but not on shore power, pull out the lower centre drawer above the water heater and see if it is plugged in (mentioned earlier).

Did you check the on/off switch at the outside access for the water heater? it needs to be "on". Assuming it's the same type of W/H we have.

On our Reflection 303RLS, we don't have a switch like that.
Amazing how many differences there are in systems that should be common !
Great, the way folks jump in with ideas for solving problems, on this forum.

Oh well..........It was worth a shot. I hope somewhere along the line, someone didn't leave the water heater on when it was empty. That'll burn up the heating element in a heartbeat.

Well problem solved! It was not plugged in to the back of tank. This was not accessible as it apparently is on other models.

[Scott and Jan]

Cool. Glad you found it and it was a simple fix.
Now enjoy a Hot shower. Lol

Sadly it's at a semi local dealer 3 hours away. Fortunately it was never hooked up by dealer I purchased it from. I do wish I had it as we would camp this weekend. Kids enjoy it as much as I do!
