Loud Popping with Hot Water Heater
Everytime my electric heater element comes on, it makes 3 or 4 loud popping noises. Sounds like someone tapping the frame with a hammer. The noise is quite loud inside the trailer. We still have hot water on either electric or propane. Of course, the service technician couldn't hear anything.
This spring, they replaced my electric heater element. The tech says the replacements are 3 inches shorter and there have been similar issues reported by other customers. He said either find and install the original longer element, or learn to live with the noise, which is what he's been telling people. Funny he couldn't hear it but knew exactly what I was talking about. I've had three trailers and know this noise is not normal.
Has anyone had issues with the new shorter electric elements? My heater is a Suburban SW6DE, both electric and direct spark propane.
