General Q & A / Re: Water heater switch?

« on: August 28, 2018, 04:56:24 PM »

I posted in the "older models"section.   Since it's a propane only water heater I am wondering if a previous owner added an after market electric heating element (camco makes one).    If they did I doubt they ran another switch inside.    It's possible they left it on.    Pull the exterior water heater cover off and take a look.

These originally came with a propane only water heater.   The switch should turn the propane burner assembly on and off.    If you always have HW regardless of this switch it's possible the previous owner added an aftermarket electric heating element and didn't bother to run an additional switch to the control panel.  The switch for the added element might be behind the exterior water heater cover or maybe they hardwired it always on as long and it will always heat if it has 110Volts.  I would check the water heater and see if it looks like the added an electric element.    If that's not it, then the only other thing would be that it wasn't wired properly from the factory.

Something like this is what I'm talking about:
