Water heater where to purchasej - Event Date: 18 Aug 2017 - 18 Sep 2017

Originally posted by ltroeller Just had our rpod in for the same problem. Had the gas lines cleaned and a new reset panel installed. Got back home and the heater would not ignite. I called the service manager and he asked us to bring it right back. It was the circuit board. He lifted up the mattress and showed us where it is. He said we should try moving it to see if it would work. That did the trick. I am sure the circuit board get jostled around when you are driving. We will try this next time it won't light.

Lots of info here and pics of valve positions on down the page.

Absolutely, the 99.99999 percent answer is your bypass valves are set wrong. In fact, in 10 years, and very active on 3 different brand forums, I can recall exactly one bad WH.

+1 on the valve positions.  That would be the simplest solution and a highly likely one for someone new to Pods and RVs.  If you don't know what we're talking about, just ask.

If there really is a problem, I'd check first to see if whatever acts a thermostat on the water heater can be replaced.  I'd guess it would be $10 part.  If it comes to replacing the water heater, check on line.  Camping World probably has them on the shelf; Amazon probably has them.  There are a ton of other places on the web.
