Suburban Water Heater Problem
Hey All,
2019 344GK - 12gal Suburban Water Heater
I am having issues getting the propane to fire at all and the electric option is only giving medium hot for a few minutes then goes to luke warm
Electric: As said above medium hot to warm water only
Propane: 2 different scenarios
Cold water in heater and turn on propane option: DSI Fault light on main panel and no clicking or auto ignition attempt on unit
Heated water in tank from electric: No DSI Fault light on main panel and no auto ignition attempt on unit
I have checked/cleaned all electrical connections on heater, propane is full, and all other propane items(stove top, oven, out-door kitchen grill, fridge) fire and work fine. Even had all running together without issue/low flame ruling out the regulator and bleeding air as best I can.
Is there something I am missing? Another way to possibly bleed air for HW Tank line only? Bad igniter/ thermocoupler?
Thanks,
Matt

Could it be the thermocoupler or cutoff that is faulty? This guy

Find out your exact model and get a new thermostat assembly.
Something like one of these...
It the device that prevents overheating by cutting off the electric power.Last edited by traveldawg; 05-12-2022 at 08:30 PM.

Thanks for the replies and wanted to let ya know both problems solved
Propane: I found out if ya have enough patience the unit will fire up after about 30-45 seconds and the fault will turn off.
Luke Warm Water: The out door shower valves were open and I assume mixing at that point with cold explaining the warm them cold after a couple minutes
Thanks again,
Matt
