My water heater operates on Electric however will not work on Propane. I turn on the propane and the water heater switch. The DSI light never lights up. The water heater does not fire up. Any thoughts or suggestions on what it might be before calling the dealer . I just bough this 2015 RP178. Thanks ------------- ScitFrogPod |

First check the fuses on the front of the converter. If they are good, if you have a voltmeter I would check the 12 volt line at the water heater. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

The DSI light is a FAULT light, it will only come on if the WH tries to light and can't. If you already had hot water, it won't light. ------------- |

I brought it back to the dealer. All they had to do was purge the LP line to the water heater. ------------- ScitFrogPod |
