Thanks for this post! I have a new 295RL (5 weeks old) that has only been out of the driveway to go to the dealer because the Dometic refrigerator was not installed properly from the factory and locked out. After being in the shop for almost a month I finally got it back and now the Dometic hot water heater model# WH-6GEA worked for one day before it shut down. After reading your post I by-passed the thermal cut off and the unit fired right up. I know it's not recommended to run the unit without it in place but can you? Also, where can you purchase replacement thermal cut offs? Needless to say, my first experience with Grand Design quality has not been a good one!

HELP!!!! No Hot Water
All kinds on Amazon
And btw those fridges and water heaters are the same put in every trailer along every brand
Grand Design can’t be responsible when they fail but they definitely will take care of you
Trailering is hard work. It has just started. Goodluck

I'll reiterate problems with appliances are NOT GD quality issues they are quality issues with the appliance manufacturer. Don't blame GD for something they have no control over, blame the appliance manufacturer.

I totally understand that GD is not responsible for the appliances but they are responsible for the proper installation of the refrigerator. It was missing baffles and not installed properly which caused the lock out. I’m just frustrated because this is my first experience with owning a RV and haven’t been able to even have it out of my driveway for the 5 weeks that I have owned it. Hopefully things will be much better moving forward and we can enjoy RVing!

Just be prepared they may get a lot worse
Just had a water leak on mine last night. Worst part is I just poured a second whiskey when I noticed it
Curb side spray port
Removed the panels and added Teflon tape and stopped the leak
This obviously happened from the road shake as I had it hooked up in my driveway for months without an issue
There will always be things come up
Goodluck
Ps. The baffle issue with the fridge Did the baffles just come loose and fall down? Or non existent?

Sorry to hear about your water leak! The baffle issue was that one of them was missing.

Just a quick reply.. as I totally understand what quick means.... do you have an instant hot water source or is the actually a water heater that heats up water in a tank? If it is a "tankless" water heater... then please set your fresh water supply to between 45-50 PSI.... then it will work perfectly.... we had the same issue in a 337RLS... but it has a tankless heater... and needs to be about 45 pSI to work....
