Suburban SW6DE water heater
I just bought a 1999 Keystone Springdale 24ft 5th wheel.....Its a fixer upper for sure, been sitting a while. Everything is checking out so far but the water heater. Wont fire up on electric or propane. My first problem is, I have never had one of these combo units, so am not familiar with the controls...There is an on/off switch outside on the heater itself. I get the impression this is for the electric side. I have a feeling the electric heater is burnt out
Then, there is the little panel above the kitchen counter, with the switch and light. I dont know how to go about this. The light is always on. If I press the lower part of the switch where it says reset, it gets brighter. If I press it to the top, it flashes bright red for a second. I take it this is when the igniter should be going off. Am I correct or way off with this?
Either on propane or electric, I am getting nothing. Maybe, I just am doing it wrong
This unit looks pretty corroded and I am wondering if its worth diving into or should I just replace it with a new one?.
