Could be. It would not hurt to get it checked out then. Even so, a burnt-out element might be one of those things not covered. Check your documentation first before spending the money to have the dealer look at the water heater.]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 21:43:03 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15745&PID=152130#152130 2022 RPod 190 Elecrric Hot water not working. : Thanks for the link I’ll maybe... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15745&PID=152129#152129 Author: npalumbo89

Thanks for the link I’ll maybe look into. I can work a screwdriver but not so much too familiar with messing with electrical.

It’s still under warranty until the end of next month and then I have the extended warranty. I’m wondering if it could be covered under that. ]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 20:58:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15745&PID=152129#152129 2022 RPod 190 Elecrric Hot water not working. : I've never replaced an element... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15745&PID=152127#152127 Author: Tars Tarkas

I've never replaced an element on the pod but I have on home water heaters.  Stephen's right; it's pretty easy and not expensive.  "Easy" and "not expensive" are relative terms, but if you know which end of a screwdriver to grab you can probably manage.

If you have a multimeter, check that electricity is getting to the element, and if you know what you're doing, check the resistance across the element itself.  Make sure the electricity is off and if it's not an open circuit it's probably good.  Anyway, the element is about the easiest fix and probably worth trying.  Worst case, you replace a good element and you have a spare....

As far as I know, the common cause for failed WH elements is not filling the water heater before turning it on.

There should be some good videos to show you how to replace the element. I have not had to do so, but I understand that it is not too difficult.

Edit: It looks like the element is about $20 on Amazon. 

This video should help with replacing the element:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBwrOO1h_E0

By "breaker" do you mean the breaker in the breaker/fuse panel inside the pod, as opposed to the switch outside on the water heater itself.  Both need to be in the on position.  If so, you may have a bad heater element.

By "reset the unit," what do you mean? The outside cover has a switch buried behind the gas plumbing. Is it possible that the switch is in the "off" position? ]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 17:59:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15745&PID=152117#152117 2022 RPod 190 Elecrric Hot water not working. : My 2022 190 appears to be experiencing... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15745&PID=152114#152114 Author: npalumbo89

My 2022 190 appears to be experiencing an issue with the electric heating element in the water tank. Propane heats it quickly and without issue but electric does nothing.

I’ve Flipped the breaker and reset the unit via the button behind the panel.

Not sure what else there is I can do here.

I’m really good about making sure the switch is off before water is in the tank and before draining the tank after camping. This worked fine a month ago when we last camped.

This camper is starting to turn into a nightmare. Ugh. ]]> Sat, 17 Jun 2023 17:29:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15745&PID=152114#152114
