How new of a hot water tank? Quick summary of the issue I had with mine on a 2016 ( purchased new) Cougar 333mks. I used the hot water daily and normally, about 4 days a week; morning shower, dishes at night and gone during the day at work. I only ran it off the electric side, but did have gas side available. Then one morning I got up to shower, and brrrr, NO hot water!? WTF?? I checked a few things and nothing. I flipped on the gas and showered about 20 min later.
Did a bunch of research, called the dealer (bring it in so we can fix it, etc), and started checking things. Because it is my home away while at work 4 days a week, I couldn't just take it to the dealer. Did more research and eventually diagnosed the issue:
A braided 4 inch jumper wire connected to the relay from the 110 solid supply had melted and fused. When I removed the wire nut (yes, that's what they used) I discovered most of the braided wires had been pushed down, which left only a few wires actually making contact. My guess it the current draw was such that it over heated the jumper causing it to melt and fail. Luckily, that's all that happened. I replaced the jumper and ensured the other wires in the bundle were attached/connected properly.
I had been in contact with the service manager during the week of my diagnosis and repair, and shared my findings with him. He assured me, despite I made the repair myself, my warranty would not be affected.
